Wire diameter can be as small as 20 μm (0.79 mils) and the geometry precision is not far from ± 1 μm (0.039 mils). The wire-cut process uses water as its dielectric fluid, controlling its resistivity and other electrical properties with filters and PID controlled de-ionizer units. The water flushes the cut debris away from the cutting zone.
Four spark plug wires (distributor end on the right, spark plug end on the left) Spark plug wires (also called high tension leads) are electrical cables used by older internal combustion engines to transmit high-voltage electricity from the distributor to the spark plugs. Tension in this instance is a synonym for voltage. High tension may also ...
Certain 1981–83 models used the EEC-III system, which uses a Dura-Spark III module (brown grommet where wires emerge) and a Dura-Spark II ignition coil. A resistance wire is used in the primary circuit. The distributors in EEC-III (and later) systems eliminate conventional mechanical and vacuum advance mechanisms. All timing is controlled by ...
Two factors considered in classifying a voltage as high voltage are the possibility of causing a spark in air, and the danger of electric shock by contact or proximity. The International Electrotechnical Commission and its national counterparts ( IET , IEEE , VDE , etc.) define high voltage as above 1000 V for alternating current , and at least ...
An ignition magneto (also called a high-tension magneto) is an older type of ignition system used in spark-ignition engines (such as petrol engines). It uses a magneto and a transformer to make pulses of high voltage for the spark plugs. The older term "high-tension" means "high-voltage". [1]
A spark-gap transmitter is an obsolete type of radio transmitter which generates radio waves by means of an electric spark. [1] [2] Spark-gap transmitters were the first type of radio transmitter, and were the main type used during the wireless telegraphy or "spark" era, the first three decades of radio, from 1887 to the end of World War I. [3 ...
Antique induction coil used in schools from around 1900, Bremerhaven, Germany. An induction coil or "spark coil" (archaically known as an inductorium or Ruhmkorff coil [1] after Heinrich Rühmkorff) is a type of transformer [2] [3] [4] used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC) supply.
Spark chamber demonstration. A spark chamber is a particle detector: a device used in particle physics for detecting electrically charged particles. They were most widely used as research tools from the 1930s to the 1960s and have since been superseded by other technologies such as drift chambers and silicon detectors. Today, working spark ...
