Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to an ignition device including a housing, a bulk fuel, and at least two lead wires as electrodes. The bulk fuel is made of a plastic material, such as polylactic acid (PLA) or epoxy resin. The bulk fuel contains an internally dispersed powdery conductive material, thereby obtaining a conductive solid fuel. One end of the lead wire is partially embedded in the bulk fuel. The other end of the lead wire is connected to a power source. A portion of the bulk fuel is gasified by energizing the lead wire, and the gasified fuel is combusted by reaction with an oxidant.
