In pyrotechnics, a pyrotechnic initiator (also initiator or igniter) is a device containing a pyrotechnic composition used primarily to ignite other, more difficult-to-ignite materials, such as thermites, gas generators, and solid-fuel rockets. The name is often used also for the compositions themselves.
(1) Anode, (2) Cathode, (3) Ignitor, (4) Mercury, (5) Ceramic insulators, (6) Cooling fluid An ignitron is a type of gas-filled tube used as a controlled rectifier and dating from the 1930s. Invented by Joseph Slepian while employed by Westinghouse , Westinghouse was the original manufacturer and owned trademark rights to the name "Ignitron".
A smoke bomb with a lit fuse. In an explosive, pyrotechnic device, or military munition, a fuse (or fuze) is the part of the device that initiates function.In common usage, the word fuse is used indiscriminately.
As batteries became more common in cars (due to the increased usage of electric starter motors), magneto systems were replaced by systems using an induction coil.The 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen and the 1908 Ford Model T used a trembler coil ignition system, whereby the trembler interrupted the current through the coil and caused a rapid series of sparks during each firing.
Bourbon Chicken. This bourbon chicken blends sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. The peppers and onions round the dish out, and serving this over rice is absolutely the way to go.
A plastic igniter cord (PIC) is a type of fuse used to initiate an explosive device or charge. In appearance, an igniter cord is similar to a safety fuse and when ignited, an intense flame spits perpendicular to the cord at a uniform rate as it burns along its length.

An igniter starts a rapid chemical reaction generating primarily nitrogen gas (N 2) to fill the airbag making it deploy through the module cover. Some airbag technologies use compressed nitrogen or argon gas with a pyrotechnic operated valve ("hybrid gas generator"), while other technologies use various energetic propellants .
