This one is quite neat.  Mainly because it turns out that it operates on 1.5 to 3V and yet still bangs out 12kV.

Now that it's documented you may find alternative uses for it.

It's always fun to buy random high voltage equipment from vague Chinese sellers on eBay and try and work out how it works and how to use it. In this instance it turned out to be a gas burner ignitor with some interesting circuitry to optimise cost and function. If you have one of these then here's how to wire and use it.

Double barrel self igniting whiffler?

While this was 'very interesting", especially the schematic, I had not considered what everyone else likely knew about; viz., the possibility of a rechargeable ignitor product. We've been using handheld gas filled lighters for years to light our gas stove burners; ignightor gave out long ago. I found what would appear to be perfect on Amazon for only $7.99!! Rechargeable too boot! Thank you, Big Clive !!
