Ignition device - fire starter

Japanese: 発火器 - はっかき
Ignition device - fire starter
A device used in blasting operations to send an electric current through an electric detonator attached to explosives buried in rocks, etc., to detonate them. An electric detonator contains a platinum resistance wire of about 1 Ω inside, and it is usually heated to red-hot by passing an electric current of 1 A through it to detonate it. The capacity is indicated by the number of detonators it can detonate, such as 30, 50, or 100. Some have a built-in generator that generates electricity manually, while others use a built-in battery to charge a capacitor and then discharge it. They are designed to operate safely and reliably, and more sophisticated ones incorporating electronic circuits have recently been made.

爆破作業において,岩盤などの中の爆薬に装着した電気雷管に電流を流して起爆させるために用いる装置。電気雷管は内部に約1Ωの白金抵抗線が入っており,それに1Aの電流を流して赤熱させて起爆させるのが普通である。30発掛,50発掛,100発掛など,起爆しうる雷管の数によって容量が表示される。発電機を内蔵していて手動で電力をつくるものや,内蔵した電池でコンデンサーを充電した後,放電する方式のものなどがある。安全で確実な作動をするようにくふうされているが,最近では,電子回路を組み込んだ精巧なものもつくられるようになった。
