I have the same question.
The typical igniter is a very thin piece of wire with a blob of pyrogen on the centre.
A rocket igniter is a device used to spark a controlled ignition of rocket engines. It typically uses a pyrotechnic material to generate a flame or hot gas that starts the combustion process in the rocket engine. The igniter is an essential component for launching rockets and initiating controlled propulsion.
To set off a model rocket without a launch set, you can use a simple electrical ignition system. Connect a pair of wires to the rocket's igniter, which can be made from a safety fuse or a small electrical match. Then, use a battery or a power source to create a circuit and ignite the igniter. Ensure you're at a safe distance and follow all safety precautions when launching.
To initiate the igniter
If you have a standard kit, the motor goes in the tube at the bottom so that the end of the motor with a clay nozzle sticks out. Place an igniter in the motor and (if you are using Estes or Quest motors) put the plug ontop of the igniter and push it in. Turn the rocket upright and put it on the pad. If you don't have a rocket with a motor mount meant for this than don't try it.
what are some reliable ways to make an electronic igniter, for my rocket engines that i have made using, potassium nitrate, sulpher, and charcoal.
An igniter is used to start fires or ignite fuel in a controlled manner. It is commonly used in devices such as gas stoves, grills, and fireworks to initiate combustion and create heat or light.
The three basic parts of a rocket are the rocket engine, which provides thrust for liftoff, the propellant tanks, which store the fuel and oxidizer, and the payload, which is the cargo the rocket is carrying into space.
To light a C6-5 rocket motor, first ensure the rocket is securely placed on a launch pad and that all safety precautions are taken. Connect the igniter to the motor, ensuring it is properly seated in the nozzle. Use a launch controller to send an electrical current through the igniter, which will ignite the propellant. Always follow manufacturer instructions and safety guidelines while launching.
