THE thermal theory of ignition of gases explains certain phenomena in the ignition of explosive mixtures by electric sparks involving capacitive and break or make discharges. However, a number of ...

THE study of lightning has been allied to the study of the electrical spark discharge since the dawn of experimental science. Benjamin Franklin, the 'father of lightning', performed with ...

When you turn your key to start the engine, an electric current is sent to the spark plugs, creating an electric spark that ignites the air/fuel mixture. The resulting explosions propel the ...

Spark plugs are integral components for gas-powered internal combustion engines. These diminutive devices create the electric spark that ignites the fuel and air mixture inside your motor.
