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.
