  2. Pyrotechnic initiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_initiator

    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.

  3. Thermador - Wikipedia

    Thermador is part of BSH Home Appliances Corporation, a fully owned subsidiary of BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, the sixth largest appliance manufacturer in the world in 2022. The Thermador brand specializes in cooking appliance equipment such as ovens , ranges , cooktops , refrigerators and dishwashers .

  4. Gas lighter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighter

    Wand lighter. A gas lighter is a device used to ignite a gas stove burner. It is used for gas stoves which do not have automatic ignition systems. It uses a physical phenomenon which is called the piezo-electric effect to generate an electric spark that ignites the combustible gas from the stove’s burner.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignitron

    (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".

  6. Spark gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_gap

    A spark plug.The spark gap is at the bottom. A spark plug uses a spark gap to initiate combustion.The heat of the ionization trail, but more importantly, UV radiation and hot free electrons (both cause the formation of reactive free radicals) [citation needed] ignite a fuel-air mixture inside an internal combustion engine, or a burner in a furnace, oven, or stove.

  7. Detection of fire accelerants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_of_fire_accelerants

    An ignitable liquid is a liquid that will readily ignite when exposed to an ignition source, while a fire accelerant is a material that is used to increase the rate of combustion for materials that do not readily burn. [2] Ignitable liquids are not always fire accelerants, they may just be present at the scene under normal circumstances.

  8. Piezo ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezo_ignition

    A piezo igniter element from a typical lighter. Piezo ignition is a type of ignition that is used in portable camping stoves, gas grills and some lighters. [1] Piezo ignition uses the principle of piezoelectricity, which is the electric charge that accumulates in some materials in response to mechanical deformation.

  9. Fire accelerant - Wikipedia
