2. Spark plug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug

   Spark plug with single side electrode An electric spark on the spark plug. A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug, [1] and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within ...

3. 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.

4. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

   Capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in outboard motors, motorcycles, lawn mowers, chainsaws, small engines, gas turbine-powered aircraft, and some cars.

5. Spark-ignition engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark-ignition_engine

   Spark-ignition engines are commonly referred to as "gasoline engines" in North America, and "petrol engines" in Britain and the rest of the world. [1] Spark-ignition engines can (and increasingly are) run on fuels other than petrol/gasoline, such as autogas (), methanol, ethanol, bioethanol, compressed natural gas (CNG), hydrogen, and (in drag racing) nitromethane.

6. Auto reignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_reignition

   Most gas ranges and cooktops use sparking devices to ignite the burner flame. This eliminates the need for a pilot flame, which wastes energy.Most of these sparking device-equipped ranges require the user to control the ignition sparking manually, resulting in a three-step process required to operate the burner:

7. Ignition system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_system

   As batteries became more common in cars (due to the increased usage of electric starter motors), magneto systems were replaced by systems using an induction coil.The 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen and the 1908 Ford Model T used a trembler coil ignition system, whereby the trembler interrupted the current through the coil and caused a rapid series of sparks during each firing.
