- Delay Igniter from a Cigarette by the Jolly Roger
-
- A simple and economical (everyone wants to save money haha) time
- delay can be made with a common cigarette.
-
- Materials Required:
- ------------------
-
- Cigarette
- Paper match
- String (shoelace or similar cord)
- Fuse cord (improvised or commercial)
-
- Procedure:
- ---------
-
- 1) Cut end of fuse cord at a slant to expose inner core
- 2) Light cigarette in normal fashion. Place a paper match so that the had
- is over exposed exposed end of fuse cord and tie both to the side of the
- burning cigarette with string.
- 3) Position the burning cigarette with fuse so that it burns freely. A
- suggested method is to hang the delay on a twig.
-
- Note: Common dry cigarettes burn about 1 inch every 7 or 8 minutes in
- still air. (Now I am talking about all except American brands, which burn
- about 1 inch every 4-5 minutes) If the fuse cord is place one inch from
- the burning end of the cigarette a time delay of 7 or 8 minutes will
- result.
- Delay time will vary depending upon type of cigarette, wind,
- moisture, and other atmospherc conditions (get to know your cigarette!)
- To obtain accurate delay time, a test run should be made under
- "use" conditions.
