Traditional aircraft magnetos, a WWII-era technology, are mechanical, have many moving parts prone to failure, and offer fixed settings and a weaker spark, leading to inefficient combustion.
In ignition system for any type of spark-ignited internal com-/I bustion engine has one basic job and that is to create an * electrical discharge at the engine's spark plugs that will ignite the ...
IN many internal combustion engines the ignition of the explosive mixture is effected by means of an electric spark which is produced by a small machine called a magneto. The great demand for these ...
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.).
Aircraft spark-ignition engines use dual magnetos and spark plugs for redundancy and increased power, with magnetos generating self-contained electricity for ignition. Pilots perform pre-flight ...
THE fundamental electrical and mechanical requirements of ignition equipment for aircraft engines are outlined and the special requirements peculiar to this service and that apply, in general, equally ...
[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 ...
These magnetos deliver a “hot” spark and perform well in high altitudes, even above 30,000 feet, without needing pressurization.
Latest model Scintilla Vertex mag, complete with tach dive. This is the ignition system found in most really hot competition rods. Ring, for adjusting timing, by Joe Hunt. In ignition system for any ...
