I am sure somebody has done work on piezo-ignition but I have never
seen it. You'd think it could be set to fire at some specific level
of compression. Piezo crystals emit a voltage when a rapid pressure is
applied, they are the things used in cig lighters that do not have
"flints".


Just think of all the people swearing at their cars like they do now at
their 2 year old gas grills.

Two years? Hell, the one in my grill made it through a whole month,
almost.
