@X084@X05.@X0823 @X03    ELECTRICAL IGNITION

     @X08Electrical ignition systems for detonation are usually the safest and
most reliable form of ignition@X05.@X08  Electrical systems are ideal for demolition
work@X05,@X08 if one doesn@X05'@X08t have to worry so much about being caught@X05.@X08  With two spools
of 500 ft of wire and a car battery@X05,@X08 one can detonate explosives from a @X05"@X08safe@X05"@X08@X05,@X08
comfortable distance@X05,@X08 and be sure that there is nobody around that could get
hurt@X05.@X08  With an electrical system@X05,@X08 one can control exactly what time a device
will explode@X05,@X08 within fractions of a second@X05.@X08  Detonation can be aborted in  less
than a second@X05'@X08s warning@X05,@X08 if a person suddenly walks by the detonation sight@X05,@X08 or
if a police car chooses to roll by at the time@X05.@X08  The two best electrical igniters
are military squibs and model rocketry igniters@X05.@X08  Blasting caps for construction
also work well@X05.@X08  Model rocketry igniters are sold in packages of six@X05,@X08 and cost
about $1@X05.@X0800 per pack@X05.@X08  All that need be done to use them is connect it to two
wires and run a current through them@X05.@X08  Military squibs are difficult to get@X05,@X08
but they are a little bit better@X05,@X08 since they explode when a current is run
through them@X05,@X08 whereas rocketry igniters only burst into flame@X05.@X08  Military squibs
can be used to set off sensitive high explosives@X05,@X08 such as R@X05.@X08D@X05.@X08X@X05.@X08@X05,@X08 or potassium
chlorate mixed with petroleum jelly@X05.@X08  Igniters can be used to set off black
powder@X05,@X08 mercury fulminate@X05,@X08 or guncotton@X05,@X08 which in turn@X05,@X08 can set of a high order
explosive@X05.@X08
