  2. High energy ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_energy_ignition

    A predecessor system called "Unitized Ignition" was optional on 1972 and 1973 Pontiacs. [citation needed] Most—but not all—HEI systems have the ignition coil mounted in the distributor cap. A control module and magnetic pickup are mounted in the distributor, in place of a conventional ignition system's breaker points and condenser.

  3. Distributor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributor

    Older distributor designs used a cam on the distributor shaft that operates the contact breaker (also called points). Opening the points causes a high induction voltage in the ignition coil. [ 1 ] This design was superseded by an electronically controlled ignition coil with a sensor (usually Hall effect or optical) to control the timing of the ...

    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.

  7. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Rural electrification systems tend to use higher distribution voltages because of the longer distances covered by distribution lines (see Rural Electrification Administration). 7.2, 12.47, 25, and 34.5 kV distribution is common in the United States; 11 kV and 33 kV are common in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; 11 kV and 22 kV are common in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zvezda_(ISS_module)

    The module was manufactured in the USSR by Energia, with major sub-contracting work by GKNPTs Khrunichev. [10] Zvezda was launched on a Proton launch vehicle on 12 July 2000, and docked with the Zarya module on 26 July 2000 at 01:45 UTC. It is a descendant of the Salyut programme's DOS spacecraft, leading to the alternate name, DOS-8.
