  2. Ignition magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_magneto

    Magneto components. Impulse coupling components. An ignition magneto (also called a high-tension magneto) is an older type of ignition system used in spark-ignition engines (such as petrol engines). It uses a magneto and a transformer to make pulses of high voltage for the spark plugs. The older term "high-tension" means "high-voltage". [1]

  3. Magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

    The magneto also had a medical application for treatment of mental illness in the beginnings of electromedicine. In 1850, Duchenne de Boulogne , a French doctor, developed and manufactured a magneto with a variable outer voltage and frequency, through varying revolutions by hand or varying the inductance of the two coils, for clinical ...

  4. Telephone magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_magneto

    A telephone magneto is a hand-cranked electrical generator that uses permanent magnets to produce alternating current from a rotating armature. In early telegraphy , magnetos were used to power instruments, while in telephony they were used to generate electrical current to drive electromechanical ringers in telephone sets and activate signals ...

    M = Schnapper-Magnetzündung (impulse magneto ignition). [r] Some 6-cylinder models had this type of magneto in its own housing, driven off the starter ring on the flywheel, located on the right-hand side. [45] This type of installation is indicated with an (M) in the model number, e.g. HL42 TUKRM.

  6. Magnetohydrodynamic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

    A magnetohydrodynamic generator (MHD generator) is a magnetohydrodynamic converter that transforms thermal energy and kinetic energy directly into electricity.An MHD generator, like a conventional generator, relies on moving a conductor through a magnetic field to generate electric current.

  7. Ford Model T engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T_engine

    The Model T engine's ignition system used a flywheel-mounted magneto to produce the current necessary to produce a spark to initiate combustion. This current was distributed by the timer (analogous to a distributor in a modern vehicle) to one of the four trembler coils , one for each cylinder .

    Same as the B1E but with a front inlet fuel injector, propeller governor on front of the crankcase and a retard magneto. [2] [4] IO-360-M1B 180 hp (134 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 91/96 avgas, compression ratio 8.50:1. Same as the M1A but with a rear-mounted propeller governor and impulse magneto. [2] [4]

  9. Gramme machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramme_machine

    A Gramme machine or Gramme magneto. A Gramme machine, Gramme ring, Gramme magneto, or Gramme dynamo is an electrical generator that produces direct current, named for its Belgian inventor, Zénobe Gramme, and was built as either a dynamo or a magneto. [1] It was the first generator to produce power on a commercial scale for industry.
