A magneto launcher (either like a hand-cranked army field telephone, or a "T-handle" dynamite detonator) would be very useful, as it wouldn't require batteries. If a magneto wouldn't do the job by itself, it could be used to charge one or more capacitors, which could be discharged to fire the igniter or igniters.
