Charging a Capacitor for Igniter: Safety & Discharge Tips

[Bassalisk]

Hello,

I have an intention of making a simple igniter. I have a capacitor with large capacitance.
3300 microFarads.
35 V breakdown voltage( i think that is what that voltage means)

I have plans on charging this capacitor with 24V dc source. My question here is, how can I charge this capacitor safely, and how can I discharge it so that it makes a spark on the little electrodes that i plan connecting it to?

Is there a better way to make a simple igniter, but with electricity ? (by electricity only I drop piezoelectric igniters. I do not fully understand their concept)

What are you planning to ignite?

Well I plan to ignite something flammable, like few drops of gasoline so that it catches fire and make rest of the stuff burn. What for? Barbeque. I want to push a switch and ignite my fire on the barbeque.

Please don't judge me XD I am just bored

Get the datasheet for the TFC561D. You can use this and a hand-wound coil to make 1/2 inch long sparks.

Thank you!
