  2. Spark gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_gap

    A spark plug.The spark gap is at the bottom. A spark plug uses a spark gap to initiate combustion.The heat of the ionization trail, but more importantly, UV radiation and hot free electrons (both cause the formation of reactive free radicals) [citation needed] ignite a fuel-air mixture inside an internal combustion engine, or a burner in a furnace, oven, or stove.

  3. Trigatron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigatron

    A trigatron is a type of triggerable spark gap switch designed for high current and high voltage (usually 10–100 kV and 20–100 kA, though devices in the mega-ampere range exist as well). It has very simple construction and in many cases is the lowest cost high energy switching option.

  4. Spark-gap transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark-gap_transmitter

    Low-power inductively coupled spark-gap transmitter on display in Electric Museum, Frastanz, Austria. The spark gap is inside the box with the transparent cover at top center. A spark-gap transmitter is an obsolete type of radio transmitter which generates radio waves by means of an electric spark.

  5. Survival radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_radio

    Lifeboats were equipped with spark gap transmitters such as the Marconi Type 241, c. 1920. [1] [2] These operated using Morse code on 500 kHz, the international distress frequency at the time. This frequency had the advantage of long range due to ground-wave propagation and was constantly monitored by all large ships at sea after the Titanic's ...

  6. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

    The discharge capacitor within the CD ignition had the ability to provide a powerful spark in excess of 4 times the spark power of the Kettering system using the same coil, with the exception that spark energy could be maintained at high rpm unlike the Kettering system. The Hyland unit consumed only four amperes at 5000rpm (8cyl) or 10,000rpm ...

  7. Crystal radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio

    The earliest practical use of crystal radio was to receive Morse code radio signals transmitted from spark-gap transmitters by early amateur radio experimenters. As electronics evolved, the ability to send voice signals by radio caused a technological explosion around 1920 that evolved into today's radio broadcasting industry.

  8. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  9. Damped wave (radio transmission) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damped_wave_(radio...

    A damped wave was an early method of radio transmission produced by the first radio transmitters (spark gap transmitters) which consisted of a series of damped radio waves. Information was carried on this signal by telegraphy, turning the transmitter on and off (on-off keying) to send messages in Morse code.
