F. R. HAIGH has recently compared the relative advantages of magneto and coil ignition used for generating the explosions which occur in motor-car engines (Students' Quart. J. Inst. Elec. Eng., Dec.).

Bosch is one of the largest manufacturers of any kind on the planet. It makes everything, from power tools to dishwashers, and it also supplies just about every automotive part you can think of.

The ignition system has always been the weakest link in the combustion engine cycle. Belgian-born engineer, Jean Joseph tienne Lenoir, invented the stationary gasoline engine back in 1860 and he used ...

Automotive ignitions systems have seen many transitions over the years. Historically, the designs have matured from a magneto to today’s coil-over-spark plug designs. The progression follows the ...

[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 ...

A typical aircraft spark-ignition engine isn't at all like the one powering the vehicle you drove to the airport. Unless, maybe, you drove a vintage tractor or motorcycle. There are so many ...

Traditional aircraft piston engine ignition systems, based on World War II-era magnetos, are mechanical, prone to failure, and lack adaptability to changing atmospheric conditions, leading to ...
