I don't recall ever hearing about them used for rocket ignitors, but they damn well ought to do a good job of it; the composition is very similar, innit?

The cognitive dissonance reading that article while trying to think about something other than self-combustion is quite delightful. :popcorn:

I have a pair of glasses with a mark right in the middle of on of the lenses, two tants on a board i was debugging, one turned white hot desoldered and burned the table, the other exploded and would have hit me right in the eye if I wasn't wearing glasses

Sure beats lighting fuses with a match.   A very timely subject on this Independence Day.

To store energy for remote detonation systems, not to initiate them directly.  I was thinking that they were using the caps tendency to explode as a mouser-ready initiator lol

That brought me right back to my days experimenting with various methods of directly detonating certain secondary explosives without primaries or low explosives. Fun times for sure.
