In This video I will show you how to make electric match or e-match at home. These are used in pyrotechnics for precise, safe and controlled ignition, but they are hard to come by in many places.
They are safer way to ignite your desired composition, so I am showing you how to make them.
I made 10 of these in 25 minutes or so, and they are not complicated to make.
Nitrocellulose lacquer can be made by dissolving ping pong balls or smokeless gun powder in acetone. Because of solvent present - don’t keep the e-matches in lacquer for too long, because tapes glue will dissolve in it and mess up the e-match!
Keep safe, comment, like and subscribe!
Thank you so much. I was having a lot of trouble with other methods. This works great and is very reliable. I even made the lacquer!
I’d love to see a video on your RC detonator battery.
Glad I could help! Right now I am really busy, but I might make a video on that! Thanks, have a nice day! :)
Nice video, Ive tried similar method using steel wool, That was before I discovered nichrome wire. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks! Yes, that works too, but steel needs higher current! :)

This was a great video for some eaxy to make igniters! We use a similar system for rocket motor igniters in high power rocketry. The big composite Ammonium Perchlorate motors can me quite difficult to i initiate so most of the time we usually wrap a chunk of propellant on the end of the igniter and use a wooden dowel to push it up inside the motor. We usually leave the stick in with it when the motor lights its incinerated. Thanks for your videos the are most interesting, I like your voice too.
Thank You! :)
Thanks for the tips.i can use this on my project
Hi! Could you make a video for us for explaining how to make also remote launcher?
its very nice video,,thank for info about firework..
New subscriber, I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a video on how to make your remote detonator? I would really like to make one as well. Thank you!
Hey there! :)
Nope, don't have video for that, but I am sure You can find one somewhere. This one just uses car central key from ebay, and a battery.
Good luck!
Nice work. Of the videos I've seen of this, yours is relatively easier/quicker to make. Not too much finicking with the tiny wires required, especially for someone with bigger hands.
Thanks! :)
Awesome, awesome video. The most complete from UA-cam!
Dude, I have only one question: on green paper on the vídeo are wrote Mg (magnesium), but os to hard to find. Ive found MgCl2 (magnesium chloride) and MgSo4 (magnesium sulfate)... Can I use one of these?
Regards from Brazil!

Thanks! :)
No, you need magnesium. You can also use aluminum mixed with someting like sulfur or some oxidizing agent. Some thing, that burns hot and is easy to ignite.
Many thanks TheMrbunGee!
AWESOME!!! I want to make some tiny amounts of nitroglycerin to play with and I was wondering how I was going to set it off reliably and remotely. I had figured using nichrome, but it never occurred to me to wrap it around a match head. THANK YOU!!!
😃 glad to be helpful! Good luck and be safe!
thanks for the content, I have one question, I want to put this e-match inside the blastic bottle of petrol, however, I have a little concern about the petrol, may make the match lose or solve in the petrol, is there any way to protect the match inside not air environment?
You could try wrapping in polyethylene plastic, or smearing with silicone. You gonna have to do some tests, cause I don't know how well they will hold up against petrol. Also this exact match will not light petrol when submerged in it. Has to be in air near petrol.
use a gas/air mixture instead as a primer.
The little stain you see on a match stem near the sulfur tip is paraffin wax and it is fuel to keep the match lit after striking, I'm wondering if this would also work to dip-seal them.
It would help to keep moisture out, but the coating is very thin, and the wax is soft, it can be destroyed with no effort. Thicker coating of wax could be used, but there is a risk, that melted wax would dampen the chemicals, failing the ignition, so nitrocelulose is the coating of choice.
Is it mandatory to dip the match into the nitrocelulose?
No, it just improves reliability.
The solvent didn't light because you had the igniter "in" the solvent. It is the solvent VAPOUR that burns because the solvent needs oxygen to burn. The igniter in the solvent had no oxygen source so the liquid solvent snuffed the match by depriving it of oxygen. This is the same reason that a completely full gas can will only burn (only small amount of fuel can react with oxygen at the spout) while an almost empty gas can will explode (large amount of vapour and oxygen mixed).
Yep!
Hello, what does the lacquer do? It makes them waterproof and flamable?
Hi! Yes, it gives some water resistance, and is also flammable, improving reliability.
Not crucial!
the lacker prevents chemical corosion upon the microwire in storage, the oxidizer eats true the microwire otherwise,
How did you make a remote batter like that? Super cool, should make a video on that too.
Thanks! :)
It is made from remote car door locking system, I would make a video, but right now I don’t have the budget needed for that, I will make that video when I will have the budget! :)
@@TheMrbunGee PATREON!! well..for now. *******Until Jack Conte Ruins it entirely!!*******
made 1000s using steel wool. dipped in black powder slurry and coated with acaroid resin
A small piece of fine grade steel wool will work just as well. Use a 9 volt battery for better power and reliability.
Thank you!
Could you please share the link for the 2 strand wire you used?
Sorry, wire was source locally, but it is 2 x 0.1mm^2 cable.
I know it’s been a long time since this video was made. I tried to look for your video on how the battery is made with a key fob. If you are still making videos, could you post that please?
Hey, it was just a cheap car central lock kit from ebay and 12V battery. I Won't make a video on that any time soon. :D
Where do you buy the nitrocellulose lacquer?
I dissolved ping pong balls in acetone for this.
Goofy question....what is that song, I got it stuck in my head.
Grass - Silent Partner
How much minimum volts required
It depends on exact resistance wire You use, for mine 12V was enough, but I think I could get away with 9V.
What is this type of wire called or where can I buy it ?
Nichrome wire, it is sold online(amazon) but you can also get it at vape shops
the thinner the better, try salvaging dead heating pads or electric blankets.
How much current and ampere does it need to ingnite the match????
It depends completely on exact dimensions of the build, 12V lead-acid battery is the safe choice, if other power sources are used then thinner resistance wire should be used.
This particular e-match was ignited using 16A rated relay, but the current was probably limited by thin copper wires leading to nichrome.
The only problem I see is that the tape is also burning, and that creates nasty fumes (as it’s made of PVC). Maybe it’d better to replace it with other kind of tape (paper, aluminium, Kapton)?
The tape is there because you need to electrically insulate the both ends of resistance wire. So aluminum tape is off the table, but you can use whatever means of insulating the connections from one to another. Even no tape, if you can find the way.
Electrical tape gave me the best reliability of the e-match, also the time to make this is minimized, these were the main attributions for e-match I was making at the time.
That said - where are you going to use them, if you are worried about the fumes?
TheMrbunGee Yeah, forgot about that (though there might be aluminum tape with insulation). Actually, I just remembered the reason why I found the tape strange: once I tried with electrical tape, and it burnt before the match ignited, but I was also using copper wire rather than nichrome (which I don’t have) and I wound it in another way.
@@GRBtutorials Yea, the smell is terrible, but these are supposed to burn far away from anyone, so in this regard I don't consider this as a problem.
GRBTutorials you do realise firework stars use pvc right
A hive is fleeing @ 02:39. What stands the blue LED for ?
:D
The flashing one indicates that device is powered.
Nice!😀 what a kind of acumlator do you USE? Is it also CAN work with a normal battery? For example with 4,5 V? 🙂
For this I used 12V acid accumulator, but you can use smaller one! Smaller batteries might not work if your nichrome wire is too thick, and you can always connect two batteries in series, to double the voltage.
For longer distances you should also increase voltage or lead wires thickness! So it really depends on distance to fuse from battery, lead wire and nichrome wire thickness!
Thank you!:)
And can you send a link, where you bought your accumlator please?

this one is just like one I have, not the exact same, but will work just like mine, find the cheapest one for yourself! :)
Thanks!:D
Thanks for the great video. I am very new to model rocketry and have trouble with alligator clips. The wire holders on your launch thingy are wonderful. What are they called, and where can I get them? Thanks again!
Thanks! Those are spring clamps, used for electric connections!
Where can I find some REAL Ping Pong balls? I bought a bunch from Sears and got burned. They wound up being plastic and would not even be good to play Ping Pong with
Bhai ye jo remote systems hai kaise banay ho plz tell me
It is wireless relay, from a car locking system, and a 12V battery!

What is the lacquer for?
It is not crucial, but serves few good purposes:
* Increased protection from moisture, That increases storage time, also allows to burn under water (for whatever reason one would need that)
* Nitro-lacquer is flammable and makes contact with both - resistance wire and match head, this greatly increases reliability.
* Lacquer holds the wire in place, so one does not have to be so careful, working with the fuse.
* The layer makes the quick-match more resistant to accidental ignition from accidental friction.
I think it is worth the extra small step, or these perks could be achieved by any other means.
amazing video dude, can you make a tutorial on how to make that remote device at 4:57 or do you sell those?
Thanks!
I don't sell anything. :D It is made from 12V battery and remote car lock device, It is quite simple. Sadly I can't make a video for that in near future, but maybe eventually!
Buy online on AliExpress. search for 12v remote control
Can we use nail lacquer?
That contains nitrocellulose
@@agorist.boogaloo in a thin layer any nail lacquer would actually work. In that case one must make sure resistance wire makes a contact with match head.
So you're saying the lacquer can block contact between the nichromw and the match head?
I don't understand.. Can I dip it in nail lacquer or not?
@@agorist.boogaloo I think it might work, yes, but I have not tried that.
There is a chance, that components in nail polish may somehow impact the reliability of e-match, that is why you exclude any errors you can, to make sure they will ignite every time.
You can always try one or several, to see how they behave.
hello which metal powder is best for kmno4?
For what? Flash? Mg is more reactive, makes more powerful flash powder than aluminum.
@@TheMrbunGee thank you
@@shahyarexperiments9082 NP!
But - be careful, never mix large batches of it. it is friction and impact sensitive and larger piles might explode without confinement
@@TheMrbunGee okay i will make dynmite and after that flash powder with kmno4+mg in summer
@@shahyarexperiments9082 Be careful and do research! :)
Will this work with kanthal?
It will!
What kind of wire does he use? I can’t make out that robotic voice.
Nichrome. You can use whatever resistance wire you can get.
How many volts does it need?
it depends on thickness of your wire, I guess at least 5 might be required.
How many volts b
12V
@@TheMrbunGee thank you!
why did you use the theme song to titanic?
I did not.. :|
Nice! x)
loved the voice
Wow, you got some cool ideas and stuff going man. You just need to step up your game and make it more enjoyable to watch ( professional ). Then you will easy get 100k viewers. Remember. The first 1k are the hardest, then 10k, then 100k. The start is always the hardest. But the recording, editing, talking is so important. In 2019 more than ever.
Thank You! Yea it is not that easy to grow audience and make regular videos besides full time job and a lot of going on in life! I'll keep up slowly! Have a nice day!
what do you mean about zinc chloride smoke bombs
I had few failures igniting zinc chloride smoke bombs with just a visco fuse, In my Zinc chloride smoke bomb video I used magnesium starter powder, to light smoke bomb.
+TheMrbunGee no like whats the chemical composition
-Hexachloroethane 45%
-Zinc Oxide 45%
-Aluminum 10%
+TheMrbunGee where did you get hexa chloroetene

Thank you!
One thing I have my doubts about.
Ignition occures due to a relative High current, heating up and igniting the matches, right?
Your way of connecting the wire to the NiCh wire is to poor.
I'd suggest some way of krimping them together. The way the wires are connected will couse some kind of (low) resistance which might limit the hight of the current. That is no big deal when you got a chargable Battery closeby, but when you want to ignite something from a distance, using a long wire, the wire might add to the total resistance along with the poor connection on the match, that it is less reliable. Unless you use a thick cable, which itself is usualy expensive.
Using a big battery closeby the item you like to ignite might be a problem if the ignition is planned to do some bigger damage also. :-)
Speaking of matches... You sweet 'n soft voice does'nt match your hands. ;-)
Better connection will increase reliability, but I never had a single problem with these, made like they were. I guess the easiest way would be wind wires together and squeeze with pliers. Also resistance wire is too thick in this video, more secure connection could be made with thinner wire.
Wireless firing also removes the resistance issue, One can buy 10 channel wireless relay module for ~ 10-20$, It will save time money. recommend!
And for bigger stuff I just dig a small hole about 5m from event location, put the firing brick in it and cover with ply wood. Never had issue with up to 5m cable, same as in the video.
You mean You did not notice it is synthetic voice? :D
Thanks for feedback, have a nice day! :)
Can i get the circuit diagram?
sangarp2001 what circuit diagram do you want.
I'm guessing the youtubers first language is not English judging by the robot voice.
No It is not..
tried it, didn't work
Which part? Following instructions?
@@TheMrbunGee yes, I followed all instructions, made 3 samples, none of them worked
@@ericbarreto1550 What do You connect them to, to initiate? You might not have enough power to ignite them.
@@TheMrbunGee I tried with a 9v battery
@@ericbarreto1550 You might need two 9V batteries in series, if that is all You have. that should work if everything is done correctly. In this video I use 12V battery.
Why so complicated. You can make an electric match with nothing more that a piece of metal wire and a battery
Sometimes You need more reliability and/or more heat for ignition. I do not find this complicated at all, it is exactly a battery and resistive wire, only around match head and with optional water resistance. Works well together, but not all parts are necessary.

These are sold more widely than You think! But hey there!
@@TheMrbunGee where u bought those matches?? they from my city!)
How do you make the remote control detonator that attached to the battery ?
It is made from car central lock module, there are multiple relays which connect battery with igniter in this case.
@@TheMrbunGee Could you make one and sell to me. Thank you
@@catchmeifyoucancatchmeifyo4215 Noo, that is not what I do!
I suggest You to learn how it all works and make one Yourself, it is a lot of fun an You will end up smarter! Good luck!
Not work
Because You messed up. Try again and try to follow simple instructions. Good luck!

Sorry. :/
Make it smaller only 3 mm across we now sell the bridgewires the only custom made lengths see ua-cam.com/users/upload

This is used for fireworks not really that horrible, but we all think our dearest thoughts.
this has got to be for the feds
WHY WHY WHY??????, The computerized voices has to go!.
Great video though.
Sorry, my own voice is not ready yet.
TheMrbunGee : Lol....Great video by the way. By chance do you have any vids on pull ring friction ignitors and the compound used.??
Kind regards, Eric Dee
Thanks, no I have not done video on that, I might do that sometime soon. problem is to make something new or easier than stuff that has been done already. I have experimented, but nothing really reliable has came up yet. I'll think about it!
your also a dick its his video sooooo
