Ignition Protected

Does anyone have a simple explanation, video, cartoon to help explain just HOW an "ignition protected" device prevents explosion?

I've read what it means, etc and can get the concept, but how, for example, can a simple mesh screen on an alternator, or a plastic cover on a bus bar prevent this when it really doesn't prevent gases from flowing over potential spark points?

What am I missing in my edjumacation?
