using a brushless fan no, mostly all of the computer fans dont create sparks (i've yet to see/hear of one that does)

thanx for the tip

i am starting to think that a spark might be useful for ignition

edit: i meant using the fan as ignition

Umm, yeah, it should be. I mean, you do need a spark to ignite. :P :roll:

Been there done that. It's been done many times before. How about a Nasa style ventilation system with a couple dozen valves, a crapload of Hydraulics, and a control panel with fancy lights that says "System Venting" when activated. :x
