2. Block heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_heater

   Electrical cord for powering a block heater. A block heater is used in cold climates to warm an engine prior to starting. They are mostly used for car engines; however, they have also been used in aircraft engines. The most common design of block heater is an electrical heating element embedded in the engine block.

3. Ignition magneto - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_magneto

   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]

4. Ignition system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_system

   As batteries became more common in cars (due to the increased usage of electric starter motors), magneto systems were replaced by systems using an induction coil.The 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen and the 1908 Ford Model T used a trembler coil ignition system, whereby the trembler interrupted the current through the coil and caused a rapid series of sparks during each firing.

5. Magnet motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_motor

   [4] [5] A popular example of a magnet motor, although without rotating axis, was put forward by John Wilkins in 1670: A ramp with a magnet at the top, which pulled a metal ball up the ramp. Near the magnet was a small hole that was supposed to allow the ball to drop under the ramp and return to the bottom, where a flap allowed it to return to ...

   Andrew Freeman (March 10, 1909 – January 17, 1996) was an American electrical engineer and the inventor of the electric block heater for automobiles. [1] Andrew L. Freeman was born in Upham, North Dakota. He attended the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where he majored in electrical engineering.

7. Thermo-magnetic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermo-magnetic_motor

   These systems operate in a magnetic Brayton cycle, in a reverse way of the magnetocaloric refrigerators. [8] Experiments have produced only extremely inefficient working prototypes, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] however, thermodynamic analysis indicate that thermomagnetic motors present high efficiency related to Carnot efficiency for small temperature ...
