carefully chop the head and charge
carefully chop the head and charge controller off the cable then cut it up
controller off the cable then cut it up
controller off the cable then cut it up into smaller pieces around two inches
into smaller pieces around two inches
into smaller pieces around two inches long if we remove the outer jacket you
long if we remove the outer jacket you
long if we remove the outer jacket you can see there are two insulated wires
can see there are two insulated wires
can see there are two insulated wires inside made of very thin stranded copper
inside made of very thin stranded copper
inside made of very thin stranded copper wires and for this project the thinner
wires and for this project the thinner
wires and for this project the thinner the wires are the better the igniters
the wires are the better the igniters
the wires are the better the igniters will work now we don’t need the outer
will work now we don’t need the outer
will work now we don’t need the outer sheathing at all so go ahead and pull
sheathing at all so go ahead and pull
sheathing at all so go ahead and pull the wires out and strip the other ends
the wires out and strip the other ends
the wires out and strip the other ends down about half an inch
down about half an inch
down about half an inch carefully single out one copper strand
carefully single out one copper strand
carefully single out one copper strand from the bundle of wire and pull it off
from the bundle of wire and pull it off
from the bundle of wire and pull it off to the side and now the other frayed
to the side and now the other frayed
to the side and now the other frayed wires are all garbage so just twist them
wires are all garbage so just twist them
wires are all garbage so just twist them together and use a pair of scissors to
together and use a pair of scissors to
together and use a pair of scissors to snip them off the base now let’s take a
snip them off the base now let’s take a
snip them off the base now let’s take a close look at the other wire if it has
close look at the other wire if it has
close look at the other wire if it has nylon cording mixed in with the copper
nylon cording mixed in with the copper
nylon cording mixed in with the copper strands you need to get rid of it and
strands you need to get rid of it and
strands you need to get rid of it and the most effective way to eliminate it
the most effective way to eliminate it
the most effective way to eliminate it is to lick it with a flame from a candle
is to lick it with a flame from a candle
is to lick it with a flame from a candle or a BBQ igniter now hold the two cables
or a BBQ igniter now hold the two cables
or a BBQ igniter now hold the two cables side-by-side about a quarter of an inch
side-by-side about a quarter of an inch
side-by-side about a quarter of an inch apart then twist the bridge wire from
apart then twist the bridge wire from
apart then twist the bridge wire from the first cable so it binds together
the first cable so it binds together
the first cable so it binds together tightly and meshes in with the other
tightly and meshes in with the other
tightly and meshes in with the other strands this will ensure the bridge wire
strands this will ensure the bridge wire
strands this will ensure the bridge wire has great electrical contact and should
has great electrical contact and should
has great electrical contact and should prevent it from unraveling to hold the
prevent it from unraveling to hold the
prevent it from unraveling to hold the wires in place simply lay a small piece
wires in place simply lay a small piece
wires in place simply lay a small piece of tape on the table so it’s facing
of tape on the table so it’s facing
of tape on the table so it’s facing sticky side up and press the wires down
sticky side up and press the wires down
sticky side up and press the wires down into the center now make sure the bridge
into the center now make sure the bridge
into the center now make sure the bridge wire is poking out around a quarter inch
wire is poking out around a quarter inch
wire is poking out around a quarter inch from the top then bend the excess wire
from the top then bend the excess wire
from the top then bend the excess wire back and press it down beside the wires
back and press it down beside the wires
back and press it down beside the wires on the inside
on the inside
on the inside all right the igniter leads are
all right the igniter leads are
all right the igniter leads are completed so let’s take a quick break
completed so let’s take a quick break
completed so let’s take a quick break from all that and spend some time
from all that and spend some time
from all that and spend some time modifying the match heads take the
modifying the match heads take the
modifying the match heads take the matches one at a time and carefully
matches one at a time and carefully
matches one at a time and carefully slide them down the edge of a sharp pair
slide them down the edge of a sharp pair
slide them down the edge of a sharp pair of scissors you can see it scores a very
of scissors you can see it scores a very
of scissors you can see it scores a very small groove right down the center of
small groove right down the center of
small groove right down the center of the tip now bring back the igniter leads
the tip now bring back the igniter leads
the tip now bring back the igniter leads and line the bridge wire up with the
and line the bridge wire up with the
and line the bridge wire up with the groove in the match head and secure it
groove in the match head and secure it
groove in the match head and secure it firmly in place by wrapping one side of
firmly in place by wrapping one side of
firmly in place by wrapping one side of the tape tightly over the base of the
the tape tightly over the base of the
the tape tightly over the base of the match then reinforce it again by firmly
match then reinforce it again by firmly
match then reinforce it again by firmly wrapping the other half of the tape the
wrapping the other half of the tape the
wrapping the other half of the tape the other direction for one finishing touch
other direction for one finishing touch
other direction for one finishing touch it’s good practice to burn the nylon
it’s good practice to burn the nylon
it’s good practice to burn the nylon strands on the igniter leads as well
strands on the igniter leads as well
strands on the igniter leads as well then twist them together tightly so
then twist them together tightly so
then twist them together tightly so they’ll make better contact at this
they’ll make better contact at this
they’ll make better contact at this point your electric matches fit
point your electric matches fit
point your electric matches fit and ready to go to work to test them out
and ready to go to work to test them out
and ready to go to work to test them out I tried connecting alligator clips to
I tried connecting alligator clips to
I tried connecting alligator clips to the leads of the igniter then running
the leads of the igniter then running
the leads of the igniter then running the wires to two 9-volt batteries in
the wires to two 9-volt batteries in
the wires to two 9-volt batteries in parallel now all it takes for ignition
parallel now all it takes for ignition
parallel now all it takes for ignition is the press of a button to complete the
