    In natural gas furnaces, water heaters, and room heating systems, a safety cut-off switch is normally included so that the gas supply to the pilot and heating system is shut off by an electrically operated valve if the pilot light goes out. This cut-off switch usually detects the pilot light in one of several ways: A flame rectification device. [2]

    This eliminates the need for a pilot flame, which wastes energy. Most of these sparking device-equipped ranges require the user to control the ignition sparking manually, resulting in a three-step process required to operate the burner: turn burner knob to a position that opens the gas valve and activates the sparking (typically labelled "Light")

  5. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    As illustrated in the use of the thermostat above, all of the power for the control system is provided by a thermopile which is a combination of many stacked thermocouples, heated by the pilot light. The thermopile produces sufficient electrical power to drive a low-power gas valve, which under control of one or more thermostat switches, in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_stove

    Gas stoves today use two basic types of ignition sources, standing pilot and electric. [21] A stove with a standing pilot has a small, continuously burning gas flame (called a pilot light) under the cooktop. [21] The flame is between the front and back burners. When the stove is turned on, this flame lights the gas flowing out of the burners.

    An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. [1] It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat exchanger . The fuel is atomized into a fine spray usually by forcing it under pressure through a nozzle which gives the resulting flame a specific flow rate, angle ...

    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.
