2. Magneto - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

   For redundancy, virtually all piston engine aircraft are fitted with two magneto systems, each supplying power to one of two spark plugs in each cylinder. Magnetos were used for specialized isolated power systems such as arc lamp systems or lighthouses , for which their simplicity was an advantage.

3. 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]

4. Automobile accessory power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_accessory_power

   Automobile accessory power can be transferred by several different means. However, it is always ultimately derived from the automobile's internal combustion engine, battery, or other "prime mover" source of energy. The advent of high-powered batteries in hybrid and all-electrical vehicles is shifting the balance of technologies even further in ...

5. List of WWII Maybach engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWII_Maybach_engines

   All Maybach engines used a Bosch 12-volt magneto for the ignition. There were two main types: Driven off the camshaft (Steuerwelle) (or the camshaft pinion), located at the top of the engine at the flywheel end. This type of magneto can often be identified at the top of the engine at the flywheel end by a circular, slightly domed cover, and a ...

6. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   While the engine is running most of the power is provided by the alternator, which includes a voltage regulator to keep the output between 13.5 and 14.5 V. Modern SLI batteries are lead-acid type, using six series-connected cells to provide a nominal 12-volt system (in most passenger vehicles and light trucks), or twelve cells for a 24-volt ...

7. Alternator (automotive) - Wikipedia

   The Model T incorporated its magneto into the engine flywheel. The first Model Ts used the magneto solely for the trembler coil ignition. Beginning with the 1915 model year, Ford added electric headlights, also powered by the magneto. [3] [4] The magneto circuit was strictly AC, with no battery included. (There was a switch on the ignition ...
