A homemade 7KV firework igniter using a 3v to 7000v boost converter from eBay.
I’m feeding the boost converter with an 18650 battery, anywhere from around 3V to 4.2V.
It produces quite a nice high voltage arc, with adjustable distance. Although this design doesn’t lend itself to a large arc distance due to the placement of the paperclips.
A better design would be to glue the paperclips to the side of the battery holder so there’s a good distance between them and to ensure the arc appears where you’d intend it to.

This is a great idea, I recently bought one of those HV boost converters. Would it be possible to adapt your idea to make it spark using a remote control? Thank you… John… 🙂
A simple DIY electronic firework lighter / igniter. Similar to commercially sold products and to the electric cigarette lighters on Amazon/eBay.
