One of our “odd” projects – we needed to ignite a miners lamp, and most of these lamps have problems with the flint mechanism that was originally used to ignite them. Mad to the rescue! We removed the flint mechanism and exchanged it for an electrode. Modifying the wick so that there is a discharge to the case, we found a box, water jetted some components, and assembled a mechanism that the lamp fits on, and allows the taser to operate and generate sparks to ignite the lamp only when the lamp is on the base. This means no one gets tasered, and as many lamps can be ignited as can be found – the flint is no longer a required tool. Obviously this is not approved by the ministry of mining for use in gaseous environments…. but it solves a problem for our client.
