[rescue] Re: nuking from orbit

[Jeremy Nielson]

The question I have, is how do you generate the initial spark to ignite the
magnesium fuse?

This is certainly not a rescue topic of course, but I'd be interested to
know people's thoughts anyways.  Spark plug and high voltage generator?  Put
the magnesium strip in the gap, and hit the big red button to spark it?
Magnesium takes a lot more heat than I know how to produce electrically...
