  2. Rhino Passive Infrared Defeat System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhino_Passive_Infrared...

    The glow plug acted as a heat decoy, which triggered any nearby IED’s infrared sensor prematurely and fired the copper explosively formed penetrator (EFP) slug at the Rhino instead of the vehicle behind it. The countermeasure proved to be a success at the time as U.S. forces found that the Rhino could not only take the impact of an EFP but ...

  3. Glow plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug

    Glow plugs are used to help overcome this issue by introducing additional heat energy into the combustion chambers. [1] A glowplug resembles a short metal pencil. The heating element is fitted into its tip. Glowplug filaments must be made of certain materials, such as platinum and iridium, that resist oxidation and high temperature. Certain ...

  4. Spark plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug

    Spark plug with single side electrode An electric spark on the spark plug. A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug, [1] and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within ...

  5. Indirect injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_injection

    The engine requires glow plugs for starting. In an indirect injection system the air moves fast, mixing the fuel and air. In an indirect injection system the air moves fast, mixing the fuel and air. This simplifies engine (piston crown, head, valves, injector, prechamber, etc.) design and allows the use of less tightly toleranced designs which ...

  6. Glow fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_fuel

    Glow fuel is a mixture of methanol, nitromethane, and oil. [2] Methanol is the primary ingredient as it provides the bulk of the fuel, and is needed as a solvent for the other ingredients. The presence of methanol vapor causes the glow plug found in model engines to heat via a catalytic reaction with the platinum wire and glow.

  7. Block heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_heater

    Some block heaters are designed to replace one of the engine's core plugs and therefore heat the engine via the coolant. [4] Alternative methods of warming an engine include: [5] Engine oil heater attached to the engine's oil pan with magnets. Engine oil heater inserted into the dipstick tube.
