  2. Constructa-Neff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructa-Neff

    Constructa-Neff Vertriebs-GmbH (former Neff GmbH, stylized as NEFF in its logo) is a German manufacturer of high-end kitchen appliances headquartered in Munich, Germany.The company was founded by Carl Andreas Neff in 1877 and has been a wholly owned subsidiary of BSH Hausgeräte GmbH since 1982.

  3. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

    This sensor is one of the two most important sensors in modern-day engines, together with the camshaft position sensor. As the fuel injection (diesel engines) or spark ignition (petrol engines) is usually timed from the crank sensor position signal, failing sensor will cause an engine not to start or will cut out while running.

  4. Gas lighter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighter

    Wand lighter. A gas lighter is a device used to ignite a gas stove burner. It is used for gas stoves which do not have automatic ignition systems. It uses a physical phenomenon which is called the piezo-electric effect to generate an electric spark that ignites the combustible gas from the stove’s burner.

  5. 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.

  6. Contact breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_breaker

    The contact breaker is operated by an engine-driven cam.On an engine with a distributor, the contact breaker can be found beneath the distributor cap.The position of the contact breaker is set so that it opens (and hence generates a spark) at exactly the optimum moment to ignite the fuel/air mixture.

  7. Auto reignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_reignition

    Auto reignition lowers the risk of gas leaks: if a flame goes out during operation, for example, from vibration or a gust of wind; due to misoperation—a user might not understand the "light" position must be maintained for about 0.5 to 2 seconds before turning the burner knob on fully.

  8. Piezo ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezo_ignition

    Piezo ignition is a type of ignition that is used in portable camping stoves, gas grills and some lighters. [1] Piezo ignition uses the principle of piezoelectricity , which is the electric charge that accumulates in some materials in response to mechanical deformation.

  9. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent through the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current through the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion.
