Some times ago we in Chile, fought the Pinochet dictatorship. I remember to
make some smoke bombs with little broken light bulbs inmersed in powder.

You see, what a surprising example. No computer, no microcontoller. A 1.5
volts battery and a pitch time controlled switch.

Hi Dan,

welcome to the group. Let me take the chance to express my pleasure to be in
this very friendly and extremely helpful group. So, it had to be said
finally... :-)

Your project sounds very interesting, would you mind to explain how exactly
those electric matches work? Have been thinking about the problem from time
to time, I once used resistor wire that gets hot when you aply current but
it is not at all the ideal way...

Thanks for your explanation,

Uli
