  2. Firearm malfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_malfunction

    Most modern firearms are designed to not be capable of firing when significantly out-of-battery. As such, a firearm that is out-of-battery typically cannot be fired, which is why this is a type of firearm malfunction. A dangerous situation can occur when a chambered round fires when the firearm is out-of-battery (called an out-of-battery ...

  3. Out-of-battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-battery

    Out-of-battery discharges almost always involve semi-automatic or fully-automatic firearms, but they are possible with manually operated firearms such as lever-actions and bolt-actions, yet extremely rare. Understanding and identifying out-of-battery conditions before they can result in an out-of-battery discharge is an important safety skill ...

  4. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    If a starter solenoid receives insufficient power from the battery, it will fail to start the motor, and may produce a rapid clicking sound. The lack of power can be caused by a low battery, by corroded or loose connections in the battery cable, or by a damaged positive (red) cable from the battery. Any of these problems will result in some ...

  5. Ignition coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_coil

    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 ...

  6. Trembler coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trembler_coil

    A trembler coil, buzz coil or vibrator coil is a type of high-voltage ignition coil used in the ignition system of early automobiles, most notably the Benz Patent-Motorwagen and the Ford Model T. [2] Its distinguishing feature is a vibrating magnetically-activated contact called a trembler or interrupter , [ 3 ] [ 1 ] which breaks the primary ...

  7. Wasted spark system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasted_spark_system

    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.

  8. Ignition magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_magneto

    This process is repeated continuously, creating a "shower of sparks." (Right) Booster coil components. The booster coil is separate from the magneto and can generate a series of sparks on its own. Current flow through the primary coil sets up a magnetic field about the coil that attracts the movable contact point, breaking circuit is broken.
