Microwave pulse ignition device

A microwave pulse ignition device was a type of technological device used with ultritium 283 and ultritium 342 for mining, terraforming, and large scale excavations. For the mining applications, it emitted precision charge patterns. At higher power settings, it was used for activating Pastorium liquid 342 for plasma flow applications and ionizing pulse generation. (TNG: "Night Terrors")
