“The static energy from a [combine] discharge ranges from about 10 millijoules (mJ) to 150 mJ in a single-discharge spark,” said Ben White, a research engineer for the Kondinin Group, an ...

A CD spark is much different from an inductive discharge spark. The arc generated at the plug by a CD system is extremely short in duration, limiting the amount of energy that the spark can deliver.

THERE is at present no generally accepted criterion of spark ignition. A widely held view is that energy delivered to the gas is the main criterion. Kravchenko1 has advanced the thesis that the ...

The intense electric fields generated by peeling tape can produce ‘microlightning’ that can ionise reactants and drive ...

Federal-Mogul says the streams can stretch up to 25 mm in length, vastly longer than a spark plug’s arc, and there are multiple streams. ACIS ignitor tip vs. traditional spark plug.

Of all the methods of making big pieces of metal into smaller pieces of metal, perhaps none is more interesting than electrical discharge machining. EDM is also notoriously fussy, what with having … ...
