Make sure of the connection of the 2 wires then press the igniter to see if it sparks. If it doesnt, move the wires around then try until it sparks. Make sure you dont leave the fuel in the film can too long before you put the film can on the base(not more than 2 seconds or so). | ||

Also make sure that you spray the Binaca from 2 inches away from the can. Otherwise, you get too much fuel and not enough air, and nothing will happen. | ||

And you should spray only one dose and no more. | ||

You can make a beam, but it won't be coherent like a laser. If you don't need coherency, then you should be fine. You will need two lenses. The first one makes the light into a cone, and as you suspected, after the focus it will spread out again. The second lens takes the cone and makes the light rays parallel again. If you place it close to the focus, you make the narrow part of the cone parallel, and the diameter of the beam is much smaller than the original, so you get concentration. If you have a large parabolic mirror with a long focal length instead of the first lens, you can collimate the beam pretty well, so it doesn't spread much. | ||

It needs two contacts. The ones we sell have one wire, and one brass contact at the base. |
