2. MSD Ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSD_Ignition

   MSD Ignition was the first company in the world to experiment with Multiple Spark Discharge for the ignition system of internal combustion engines in 1970. The idea was first proposed by a group of engineers working on the White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico. The engineers worked for the research and development company Autotronic ...

3. 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.

4. Ignition coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_coil

   The ignition coils for these can be combined into a single casing (a coil pack) and located away from the spark plugs; however it is increasingly common for coil-on-plug systems to be used, whereby the individual ignition coils are small units attached directly to the top of each spark plug. An advantage of coil-on-plug systems is that in the ...

5. Gas-discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-discharge_lamp

   Neon lighting, a widely used form of cold-cathode specialty lighting consisting of long tubes filled with various gases at low pressure excited by high voltages, used as advertising in neon signs. Low pressure sodium lamps , the most efficient gas-discharge lamp type, producing up to 200 lumens per watt, but at the expense of very poor color ...

6. Geissler tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geissler_tube

   A Geissler tube is a precursor to modern gas discharge tubes, demonstrating the principles of electrical glow discharge, akin to contemporary neon lights, and central to the discovery of the electron. [1]: 67 This device was developed in 1857 by Heinrich Geissler, a German physicist and glassblower.

7. Electrical ballast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast

   A rapid start ballast always heats the lamp electrodes using the same heating power, before, during and after lamp starting, by using a heating transformer coil. It provides longer lamp life and more cycle life than instant start, but have very high ballast losses compared to other types of ballasts, as the electrodes in each end of the lamp ...
