Part 3/5:
Take a domestic gas lighter and carefully remove its end. This is where the sparks will be generated. After removing the end, you'll find two output electrodes. Solder wires onto these electrodes to connect to your copper strips.
Having a partner demonstrate by contacting the copper strips with the lighter provides a visual indication that sparks are being produced. This is an essential step in verifying that your setup is functioning as intended.
Final Assembly
Now that the lighter's electrodes are prepared and the copper strips are in place, it’s time to secure everything. Use cell tape to hold down the copper strips. This will stabilize your assembly, ensuring that all parts remain in place during use.
