I am building a small prop and need to build a spark gap ignitor. I found a pic of the circuit and the diagram. Just wondering if you could help me identify the needed parts and ratings for the parts?
It is from a lighter such as

I believe the circuit diagram looks like

And the actual circuit looks like

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Buy another of the same lighter.
The magnetic components (transformers) are highly specialized and will not be available from any generic supplier.
The cheapest and easiest source is... you guessed it! - buy the original lighter!

Yeah I had figured as much but I cant get any in the country in time and I know it is possible to build one that would use standard transformers. Just wondering if someone would help me with the design of a similar one.
