Has any one tried spark plugs? I did a search and didn't find anything, if so how many and did you try anything with different timing. I'm think of two sets of spark plugs with a timer to set of in less than a second between the two.

You'd need a dam fast timer if you wanted the second spark to be going off in anything more than already combusting gas.

They should work properly i guess, at least they are made for ignitig a fuel/air mixture
But why would you delay some of em?
Just Have them spark all at the same time (put em in series, not parralel)

A spark plug is basically a set of electrodes designed to handle repetitive use, and make an airtight seal.
Of course they would work, the only question is how do you intend on driving them?

The spark gap is quite small so a piezo will certainly do.
Maybe the piezo igniter can drive like 4 (or more) of these things in series, im sure it can handle at least 2 or 3 of em.
