Fire incidents linked to work at height often start with small ignition sources that go unnoticed. Elevated platforms, mobile ...

Standing Assumptions About Plasma Sustainment and Efficiency This paper argues that the persistent failure of sustained plasma systems is not an engineering limitation, but the predictable result of ...

An ignition coil is a vital component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is responsible for converting the low voltage from the battery into the high voltage needed to produce sparks at the spark ...

Swapping spark plugs seems straightforward, but are you overlooking a critical part? How long do ignition coils last, and ...

Paging through an ignition catalog reveals all sorts of different ignition coils for conventional distributor-type ignition systems. To say it's a mite confusing is an understatement!Just how does an ...

A battery in a traditional car cannot directly create engine spark. It’s only rated at 12 volts, after all, so it needs a little help boosting the signal to the spark plugs. To make that happen, a car ...

Like much in life, the difference between detonation and pre-ignition, and their effects, comes down to timing. Both refer to a situation when an engine's fuel/air mixture combusts at the wrong time, ...

If you can find a good, skilled locksmith, it’d be worth paying them to make a house call, to see if they can find a way to ...

Ignition timing is easily the single most important tuning adjustment on an internal combustion engine and yet the concept of ignition curves continues to be elusive for many enthusiasts. Yet all it ...

[Dan] wanted to learn a bit about solid state ignition in engines; to get started he needed a test subject, so he decided he would upgrade his old 12 horsepower lawnmower. Originally the lawnmower ...

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally ...
