Just wondering how feasible is it to light a camera flash from a disposable camera? After some research on the net, it seems that a flash bulb has 2 terminals and a trigger plate, but all I'm getting is that they all require very high voltages.
I have a boost converter that I built that can do around 120V to a capacitor. Can I light the flash bulb by applying 100V to the terminals, and 100V to the trigger plate, or would I need thousands of volts?
Also, if the flash bulb doesn't need thousands of volts, can someone give me an estimate on how much current would it need during the brief flash? Is it possible to sustain the flash, heating issues aside?
Thanks.
