It is interesting to note that the posted low voltage firing scheme
with the safety and continuity lamp is what model rocketry has
been doing since dirt. It has proven to be reliable, and
with nichrome's high melting temperature, generates little
flying molten metal... The nichrome wire itself (without the
accelerating coating used to assure engine ignition) is pennies
per foot. The accelerator, though, assures which section of the
wire ignites first (the accelerator burns before any part of the wire
melts through). When working without the acclererator, I'd always
stress the section of wire (by bending) where I wanted the wire
to burn through, thus insuring higher resistivity at that
point. Working off a 12 volt cycle battery I can't
remember when I didn't get immediate, flawless ignition.

Has anyone out there ever tried ignition using a electronically
fired spark? Seems to me to be a good scheme if the spark coil
can be moved close enough to the pot that the momentary high
voltage would not itself become a hazard. No molten metal
from ignition electrodes this way...

I just found this news group today.....
Brings back a lot of old memories - some good and some bad
I was reading a few of the postings about fly space at schools and it brings
back an old story

When I was back in high school, Harrison, New York (about 25 mile north of the
city) they were planning a new high school building and the administration at
the time did a very good job of placating all the teachers by asking for
their input on various topics - the teacher/advisor for the stage crew talked
to a lot of us students about his ideas so we had a good idea of what was
going to be built. 

Well I graduated in 1973 and the new school opened the following year or so
and what a surprise I had when I walked into the auditorium to see this
flowered front curtain. I quickly ran to the office of my old stage crew
advisor to ask him what had happened and he just laughed - the home-ec teacher
had picked "the curtain" thinking she was picking the drapes for her class
room - the fellow in the administration who asked her to pick still to this
day doesn't see anything wrong with the selection or process.

Well I still like the old stage better
more wing space
full fly system
no house lights - so we could rent what we needed

I'm afraid I have to aggree with the above.  While calculations done
for current through lamps seams to indicate that they should
be OK remember the cold inrush current of a tungston lamp can be
100s of times the hot current.  Commercial pyro's are (usually) built to
exact standards and will not fire under a specific current.  Can home made
constructors guarentee this?  Similarly only specifically designed equipment
should be used to check continuity - they guarentee not to provide more than
the minimum current even under fault conditions.  Remember some lamps will
short when blown (xmas tree).  

As commercial systems are available for as little as $150 there seams little
point in risking life and limb especially when you consider the cost of other
equipment and even less point in giving advice to third parties who may
construct and use home made equipment without realising its limitations.

Could you not be held legally responcible for accedents caused by such advice?

Well... I am only 16, and mainly I only do sound, but I have to ask - What are
NSI dimmers?  I am afraid that the little bit of theatrical lighting I have donehas either been with ecomemy 12 ch. portable units, or with a MASSIVE 60 ch     dimmer system that I think MIGHT be made my Yamaha (I am probably wrong, I just
use it)

Ok, how did he do it?  I mean, I don't think there was any strings, since there was no impressions in his clothing and they had those rings around him, and he  went inside that case.  He even carried an audience member in his arms well     flying and then, as his finale, he went OUTSIDE and flew.  I would be very 
interested in knowing how this was done!

Another post brought this thought to mind:  what is the best book on
lighting design?
