Make fire or a spark

So i try to make a "C4" replica, i have a FP3 from new year ave and i want to fire it by arduino mecanism, i know to code it and I will use a ESP8266 and i will detonate from wifi.(ik i will destroy the ESP, no worry). Q:How to make that fire? with a lighter and a servo it won't work because i dont have a servo that powerfull.

Sure, everyone knows what a C4 replica and an FP3 is... not!

Typically you would use a high-current battery like a LiPo cell and run a lot of current through a thin wire to make the wire hot. You can't draw much current from an Arduino pin so you should use a logic-level MOSFET to switch the current.

To help us too old and not in the know;

What is a "C4 replica" ?

What is "a FP3" ?

What is "new year ave" ?

C4 is a Citroën, and FP3 is an Ilford black and white film.
Or was that FP4?

Testing this is going to be interesting

Since they were talking about making "fire or a spark" I figured they meant "C4" to mean the common type of British plastic explosive named "Composition C-4".

srnet:
What is "a FP3" ?

There is a type of large firecracker known as an FP3. They seem to be known for being loud.

srnet:
What is "new year ave" ?

I think they meant to says "New Year's Eve (fireworks)".

Sounds like somebody wants to make a wireless detonator. Best save the OP's IP address.

The FBI will be interested.

I cannot help you make go BOOM.

C4 the explosive is fired using an electrical charge, not heat.

Firecrackers require heat, such as a high current through some thin nichrome wire or something.

I'm only helping because the concept is a REMOTE detonator, where you and other people are away from harm.

According to Wikipedia: "C-4 is metastable and can be exploded only by the shock wave from a detonator or blasting cap." Perhaps you were thinking that all blasting caps are fired electrically?

From a technical point, the post just looks like the product of a fantasy thinking 12 year old. Just saying.

I once made this with a NANO and today I'm achmed the dead terrorist.
