  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]

    Mechanics nicknamed them Parts Recovery Turbines, since the increased exhaust heat meant a return to the engine destroying exhaust valves. The fuel burn for the PRT-equipped aircraft was nearly the same as the older Pratt and Whitney R-2800, while producing more useful power. [5] Effective 15 October 1957 a DA-3/DA-4 engine cost $88,200. [6]

    During World War II, the company was a key manufacturer of magnetos used on American aircraft engines such as the Allison V-1710. Its name was changed to the Electrical Components Division in 1966. The Bendix Engine Products Division was split off in 1980 and moved to Jacksonville, Florida a few years later.

    In the event of an electrical failure, the engine will continue to run. The Ignition Switch has the following positions: Off - Both magneto p-leads are connected to electrical ground. This disables both magnetos, no spark is produced. Right - The left magneto p-lead is grounded, and the right is open. This disables the left magneto and enables ...
