Doing a safety test...

Have any good ideas on how to ignite 1000 primers laying loose in a bowl with a vented lid?

Model rocket igniter?

Eta we use to also make flash pots for theatical stuff by taking old fuses, removing thetop and putting in some black powder. Little went a long ways.

Make a camp fire, and when you have a good of hot embers put the bowl down right in the middle.

Decided, after using a propane torch on one, to try and use electricity.  Took about 2 seconds to detonate with propane.

So I'm going to design a 3d printed primer holder that will allow 14GA romex to touch either side of the primer.  See if I can ignite it with a 9V, and if that don't work, I'll drag out a car battery. lol

Oh, there'll be video for sure.  I'm doing this as a product safety demonstration.

why?

Why do you need to detonate primers?

Surprised the question hasn't arisen before?

Well then, 14GA romex with a zip tie around it and a primer in between will not detonate the primer with a 9V battery... A 10A 12V car charger, however, takes about 5 seconds to detonate.
