Title: Fuel igniter

Abstract

This patent describes an apparatus for continuous ignition of a substantially aqueous fuel. It comprises: a housing having a closed end, an open end and a continuous side wall; means disposed at the closed end for generating a spark within the housing; fuel intake means for supplying fuel into the housing; and a cap covering the open end, the cap defining an exhaust port therethrough and including a cathodic surface, whereby the spark passes from the spark generating means to the cathodic surface through the fuel to ignite the fuel such that the ignited fuel is discharged from the housing though the exhaust port.
