Ignition system of a flat-twin Citroën 2CV. A wasted spark system is a type of ignition system used in some four-stroke cycle internal combustion engines.In a wasted spark system, the spark plugs fire in pairs, with one plug in a cylinder on its compression stroke and the other plug in a cylinder on its exhaust stroke.
An induction coil consists of two coils of insulated wire wound around a common iron core (M). [1] [7] One coil, called the primary winding (P), is made from relatively few (tens or hundreds) turns of coarse wire. [7] The other coil, the secondary winding, (S) typically consists of up to a million turns of fine wire (up to 40 gauge). [8] [1] [7]
An ignition coil is used in the ignition system of a spark-ignition engine to transform the battery voltage to the much higher voltages required to operate the spark plug(s). The spark plugs then use this burst of high-voltage electricity to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The ignition coil is constructed of two sets of coils wound around an iron ...
For rigid air-core coils, inductance is a function of coil geometry and number of turns, and is independent of current. Similar analysis applies to a solenoid with a magnetic core, but only if the length of the coil is much greater than the product of the relative permeability of the magnetic core and the diameter. That limits the simple ...
Unnatural History II (subtitled Smiling in the Face of Perversity) is the second in the Unnatural History series of compilation albums by Coil.Unlike the compilations Stolen & Contaminated Songs and Gold Is the Metal with the Broadest Shoulders, the Unnatural History albums collect songs from more than one era of Coil's work.
