On utilise également dans le même cas d'allumage de la poudre noire, la canette électrique (electric squib) [...] qui ressemble assez au détonateur électrique [...] Cette canette contient une poudre qui s'enflamme à l'électricité et allume la charge explosive (poudre noire). L'action de la canette électrique est instantanée et sans dégagement de fumée, contrairement à la canette ordinaire. En outre, la canette électrique est d'un usage plus sûr. 1, record 2, French, - canette%20%C3%A9lectrique
