2. Spark plug wires - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug_wires

   Four spark plug wires (distributor end on the right, spark plug end on the left) Spark plug wires (also called high tension leads) are electrical cables used by older internal combustion engines to transmit high-voltage electricity from the distributor to the spark plugs. Tension in this instance is a synonym for voltage. High tension may also ...

3. Spark plug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug

   Spark plug with single side electrode An electric spark on the spark plug. A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug, [1] and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within ...

4. Glow plug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug

   Glow plugs are used to help overcome this issue by introducing additional heat energy into the combustion chambers. [1] A glowplug resembles a short metal pencil. The heating element is fitted into its tip. Glowplug filaments must be made of certain materials, such as platinum and iridium, that resist oxidation and withstand high temperature ...

5. Dieseling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

   The ignition source of a diesel engine is the heat generated by the compression of the air in the cylinder, rather than a spark as in gasoline engines. The dieseling phenomenon occurs not just because the compression ratio is sufficient to cause auto-ignition of the fuel, but also because a hot spot inside the cylinder (spark plug electrode ...

6. Champion (spark plug) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champion_(spark_plug)

   Champion went to work producing spark plugs to be used in Buick automobiles. In 1910, the company moved to Toledo, Ohio to be close to the Willys-Overland Auto Company. [1] In 1931, Champion introduced its first suppressor-type spark plugs. It used a carbon-based resistor to reduce the effects of ignition noise on radio waves. [2]

7. Homogeneous charge compression ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_charge...

   Another means to extend the operating range is to control the onset of ignition and the heat release rate [14] [15] by manipulating the fuel itself. This is usually carried out by blending multiple fuels "on the fly" for the same engine. [16] Examples include blending of commercial gasoline and diesel fuels, [17] adopting natural gas [18] or ...
