F. R. HAIGH has recently compared the relative advantages of magneto and coil ignition used for generating the explosions which occur in motor-car engines (Students' Quart. J. Inst. Elec. Eng., Dec.).

Automotive ignitions systems have seen many transitions over the years. Historically, the designs have matured from a magneto to today’s coil-over-spark plug designs. The progression follows the ...

[Dan] wanted to learn a bit about solid state ignition in engines; to get started he needed a test subject, so he decided he would upgrade his old 12 horsepower lawnmower. Originally the lawnmower ...

Professor X and Kolchak would both be proud Part 1 The post Conquering the Magneto appeared first on KITPLANES.

An ignition coil is a vital component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is responsible for converting the low voltage from the battery into the high voltage needed to produce sparks at the spark ...

Drag racers are constantly searching for ways to either go faster down the quarter-mile or to make those quarter-mile blasts become more consistent. There are plenty of ways to make more horsepower ...

The automotive ignition system is an incredibly amazing machine that has evolved for more than 100 years already and continues to evolve as the demand drives the need to develop more efficient engines ...
