A fun read, Bill. Thanks.
I'm surprised that you only got 18 launches (plus a few attempts) out of a set of Energizers....but now that I think of it I don't know if I've ever kept track of the number of launches I've gotten off a set of Gas in a Solar controller or an Electron Beam.
An incandescent continuity lamp draws over 150 mA. I'd bet you'd get a few more launches from a more recent EB that has an LED continuity indicator. For whatever that's worth....
