   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug_(model_engine)

   The glow plugs used in model engines are significantly different from those used in full-size diesel engines. In full-size engines, the glow plug is used only for starting. In model engines, the glow plug is an integral part of the ignition system because of the catalytic effect of the platinum wire. The glow plug is a durable, mostly platinum ...

3. 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 high temperature. Certain ...

4. Rhino Passive Infrared Defeat System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhino_Passive_Infrared...

   The glow plug acted as a heat decoy, which triggered any nearby IED’s infrared sensor prematurely and fired the copper explosively formed penetrator (EFP) slug at the Rhino instead of the vehicle behind it. The countermeasure proved to be a success at the time as U.S. forces found that the Rhino could not only take the impact of an EFP but ...

5. Glow fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_fuel

   Glow fuel is a mixture of methanol, nitromethane, and oil. [2] Methanol is the primary ingredient as it provides the bulk of the fuel, and is needed as a solvent for the other ingredients. The presence of methanol vapor causes the glow plug found in model engines to heat via a catalytic reaction with the platinum wire and glow.

6. 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 ...
