  2. Spark extinguishing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_Extinguishing_System

    Spark detectors and extinguishing device must be arranged in a certain distance to ensure that the detected ignition source can be extinguished reliably. This distance is called quenched spark gap and is calculated based on the transport speed of the material and the system-related delay time.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Tongue-and-groove pliers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-and-groove_pliers

    An advantage of this design is that the pliers can adjust to a number of sizes without the distance in the handle growing wider. These pliers often have long handles—commonly 240 to 300 mm (9.5 to 12 inches) long—for increased leverage. [1] [2] [3] The weight of the tool can also vary, depending on the material used.

  6. Electrical discharge machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining

    7 Tool holder. 8 Spark. 9 Tool. Electrical discharge machining is a machining method primarily used for hard metals or those that would be very difficult to machine with traditional techniques. EDM typically works with materials that are electrically conductive, although methods have also been proposed for using EDM to machine insulating ceramics.

  7. 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.

  8. Needle-nose pliers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle-nose_pliers

    Needle-nose pliers, also known as long-nose pliers and snipe-nose pliers, are both cutting and holding pliers used by artisans, jewellery designers, electricians, network engineers and other tradesmen to bend, re-position and snip wire. Their namesake long nose gives excellent control while the cutting edge near the pliers' joint provides "one ...

  9. Pliers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliers

    Special tools for making crimp connections in electrical and electronic applications are often called crimping pliers or crimpers; each type of connection uses its own dedicated tool. Parallel pliers have jaws that close in parallel to each other, as opposed to the scissor-type action of traditional pliers.
