Excellent post. If you add a bit of amperage to the voltage you can electrically set off black powder easily.

I made some electrically fired muzzle-loaders 30 years ago.

“If you add a bit of amperage to the voltage you can electrically set off black powder easily.”

How much would you step amperage? The test I saw had a ovlt rating but no amperage. The tool used to generate the static electricity is used to test neon lights for leaks and it look impressive as heck.
