I was reading an article about electronics and Pyro in a Fireworks publication, and in this article the author makes the claim that he has used resistors as ignitors to electrically fire fireworks.
I was wondering if anyone has done this before in rocketry. Seems feasible to me. He said he used 3.9 ohm resistor in a 12 volt firing system. The idea being that you overload the resistor and cause it to heat up rapidly.
Food for thought.
