no. simple physics stop that.... I=V/R you could get enough current from a 9 volt battery to directly ignite black powder ( i mean passing current through it) ive never measured it Resistance value, but i know from previous experience that carbon arc can cause serious amounts of heat...... you could do it with a 12v lead acid battery, like a small car battery. the contacts would have to be very close 2gether though. it would, in fact, be much easier to use graphite stick, OR "pencil lead" as this gets very hot when subjected to current. hope this helps
