magneto ignition
1magneto ignition — A compact assembly of a magneto generator, an ignition coil, and a distributor. Ignition voltage is induced within the magneto by the movement of a coil relative to the poles of a permanent magnet. Because it needs no battery, the system is… …
2Ignition system — For other uses, see Ignition system (disambiguation). An ignition system is a system for igniting a fuel air mixture. Ignition systems are well known in the field of internal combustion engines such as those used in petrol (gasoline) engines used …
3Magneto — For other uses, see Magneto (disambiguation). Demonstration hand cranked magneto A magneto is an electrical generator that uses permanent magnets to produce alternating current. Hand cranked magneto generators were used to provide ringing current …
4ignition — A process which initiates the combustion of the compressed air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. In a spark ignition engine, the mixture is ignited by an electric spark; in a diesel engine, the self igniting mixture must be preheated by… …
