Try just wiring it up outside of your cannon first. If you can get a decent spark then go for it.

spudblaster if its a medicine bottle cannon that should do the trick but a big cannon not so much a couple of suggestions: a large bbq grill sparker sold at homedepot by the grills has a big red botton on it , a stun gun, electric fly swatter, or a lattern sparker

im sorry i should have clarified that it will work but from my experience not at all well a two spark wold be like this the T's are screws connect one wire to the far right screw and one wire to the far left screw then there is a screw in the middle the paint picture would not work so hhere it is T=screw *=spark connest one wire to the (+) screw and one to the (-) screw
(+) T T T(-)

a standard igniter will jump a 3-5 mm spark so compensating for electric resistance the skrews would be near 2 mm apart not only being a pain to drill but then the sparks wouldn't even jump through the gasses (just air that is atomosphered to the skrews) thus not even igniting it. not saying that it will not work but you may have many misfires However, a BBQ igniter will jump 8-12mm making it much easier for the spark to jump through gas igniting it ( they also have a more powerful spark) and now you know and knowing is half the battle (GI joe)

Easiest way to rig up a dual sparks is using the CS system. Easy and effective, simple as that.

Nice...How strong is each individual spark oppossed to when you were using just one ignition point, you were at any point?
