Whitepaper — Electrical Current Requirements of Model Rocket Igniters
URL: http://blastzone.com/pml/images/IgnitersWhitePaperbyG-Wiz.pdf
Summary: Author: Robert Briody. Every model or high power rocket flight begins with a single event. An igniter or electric match is electrically initiated which in turn ignites the blackpowder or composite propellant. For such a critical role, little technical information is available regarding the electrical characteristics of these devices. Some manufacturers of electric matches provide "no fire'" and "all fire" current ratings for their devices. While important from a safety perspective, this information conveys nothing as to the devices true electrical characteristics. This document will shed some much needed light on the electrical characteristics of electric matches.
