Hello All,
I was thinking of planning some testing for an igniter design but wanted some feedback about my idea first.
I was watching slow motion YouTube videos when I came across a couple slo-mo clips of a shotgun primer going off,
Watch starting at 1:58 m,
Watch starting at 5:00 m,
It got me thinking of mounting it in a bulkhead and pointing the business end down my fuel core, to use as an igniter for my APCP fuel. At a glance, the volume and rate of gas produced does not look significant enough to cause a CATO. Though, I'm not certain where it would fall within the bounds of reliability and effectiveness in terms of being too much or too little.
Thanks for your thoughts!
