I've made a potato cannon out of the basic PVC and used a grill sparker for my ignition but the sparkers break and are unreliable. i was looking for a battery powered ignition but learning how to make a voltage multiplier is a challenge when i don't know much about electronics. if someone could tell me how to make one or if there is a better method of ignition it would be appreciated.
