  2. Trembler coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trembler_coil

    The trembler coil was a device called a Ruhmkorff or induction coil, widely used in the 19th century. [5] It combines two magnetic devices on the same iron-cored solenoid. The first is a transformer, used to transform low voltage electricity to a high voltage, suitable for an engine's spark plug. Two coils of wire are wound around an iron core.

  3. Ignition switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_switch

    Ignition switch on a Saab 9-5. An ignition switch, starter switch or start switch is a switch in the control system of a motor vehicle that activates the main electrical systems for the vehicle, including "accessories" (radio, power windows, etc.). In vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, the switch provides power to the starter ...

  4. Ignition system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_system

    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". Used on many cars in the early 20th century, ignition ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T_engine

    The Ford Model T used a 177 cu in (2.9 L) sidevalve, reverse-flow cylinder head inline 4-cylinder engine. It was primarily a gasoline engine. It produced 20 hp (14.9 kW) for a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h). It was built in-unit with the Model T's novel transmission (a planetary design ), sharing the same lubricating oil .

  6. 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 ...

  7. Wasted spark system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasted_spark_system

    Wasted spark system. 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. The extra spark during the exhaust stroke has ...

  8. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the power and signal connections between the devices. A wiring diagram usually gives information about the relative position and arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices, to ...
