Abstract: A method and device for igniting a turbomachine combustion chamber including alternately: an intake phase of a fluid into a chamber through an intake port, during which a piston compresses an elastic mechanism under pressure of the fluid such that the elastic mechanism applies onto a piezoelectric element a force sufficient for the piezoelectric element to induce between the electrodes an electric voltage enabling an electric arc to be generated, until the piston reaches a predetermined position for closing a valve for sealing the intake port; and an exhaust phase of the fluid, during which the elastic mechanism pushes back the piston to induce a fluid ejection out of the chamber through an exhaust port, and the valve is open.
