Sparks in air require about 30,000 volts per inch. So, if your Weber igniter will really make a 1 cm long spark then it is generating over 10,000 volts - half a centimeter is more like 5000 volts.
But for a spud cannon you just need to know how far apart to put the wires so the spark will be able to jump and you already know it’s 0.5 to 1 cm…
