ABSTRACT:
An igniter for use in conjunction with a model rocket engine. The igniter includes a housing having an adhesive ring and a fuel container. The adhesive ring supports and secures the open lower end of the rocket engine casing to the housing such that the fuel in the container is in communication with a propellant charge held in the engine casing. A pair of electrical pins extend through the base of the container and are interconnected by a nichrome wire which carries a flammable material known as an initiator. The portion of the pins extending exterior of the container are configured to be received in a standard female electrical receptacle which is connected to a battery and firing panel.
