  2. Telephone magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_magneto

    The legs of this instrument are actually the permanent magnets for the magneto. Many early manual telephones had an attached hand-cranked magneto that produced an alternating current (AC) at 50–100 V for signaling to ring the bells of other telephones on the same (party) line, and to alert an operator at the local telephone exchange. These ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

    Swedish telephone (ca. 1896) with the hand crank of the magneto on the right side. Manual telephones for local battery station service in magneto exchanges were equipped with a hand-cranked magneto generator to produce an alternating voltage to alert the central office operator, or to ring the bells of other telephones on the same (party) line.

  4. 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]

    200 hp (149 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 100 or 100LL avgas, compression ratio 8.70:1. Same as the C1D but with two retard magnetos instead of impulse magnetos, a non-machined front governor pad and provision for front bed mounting. [4] IO-360-D1A 200 hp (149 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 100 or 100LL avgas, compression ratio 8.70:1.

    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.

  7. Rotax 277 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotax_277

    The Rotax 277 features a single piston ported, air-cooled cylinder head and cylinder, utilizing either a fan or free air for cooling. Lubrication is pre-mixed fuel and oil. The 277 has a single Bosch flywheel magneto generator 12 volt ignition system and is equipped with a 36 mm Bing double float carburetor, with either a hand lever or cable choke.

  8. Immobiliser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immobiliser

    The electric immobiliser/alarm system was invented by St. George Evans and Edward Birkenbuel and patented in 1919. [2] They developed a 3x3 grid of double-contact switches on a panel mounted inside the car so when the ignition switch was activated, current from the battery (or magneto) went to the spark plugs allowing the engine to start, or immobilizing the vehicle and sounding the horn. [3]

  9. 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 .
