Igniter Sensitivity Project

CarnDu is working with other in the pyrotechnics industry on a practical study of the sensitivity of electric igniters to various stimuli:-

Friction
Impact
Static

The study will provide practical information (rather than academic ignition energy values at this stage) of a large variety of electric igniters used in the fireworks, theatrical and other pyrotechnic industries.

Details are available via a dedicated blog
