spark plug ignition
41staggered ignition/staggered timing — A dual ignition timed so that the spark plug nearest the exhaust valve fires before the spark plug nearest the intake valve. This is to ensure that the fuel air mixture is diluted by partially burned exhaust gases (which burn more slowly than a… …
42distributorless ignition system — (DIS or DLS) An electronic ignition system that does not have a conventional rotating distributor. Instead, it uses multi spark ignition coils or one ignition coil for each spark plug …
43dynamic ignition timing — Before the introduction of a strobe light, ignition timing was done statically in that the distributor was moved a certain measured amount. With modern engines, a timing light or strobe light is used. It is connected, generally, with the spark… …
44Minimum ignition energy — (MIE) is the minimum amount of energy required to ignite a combustible vapor, gas or dust cloud, for example due to an electrostatic discharge. MIE is measured in joules (J). [1] Explosives, hydrogen, unsaturated hydrocarbons and alkanes in… …
45pressurized ignition — A type of ignition system for high altitude operation of reciprocating engines. To prevent high voltage inside an unpressurized distributor from jumping to the wrong electrode or to ground because of low air pressure at high altitudes, the… …
46Internal combustion engine — The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high temperature and high …
47MegaSquirt — is the registered trademark of an aftermarket electronic fuel injection (EFI) controller designed to be used with a wide range of spark ignition internal combustion engines (i.e., not diesel engines.) It is a complete standalone fuel injection… …
48Wankel engine — The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine which uses a rotary design to convert pressure into a rotating motion instead of using reciprocating pistons. Its four stroke cycle is generally generated in a space between the inside of… …
49Hit and miss engine — A hit and miss engine is a type of four stroke internal combustion engine that was conceived in the late 1800s and was produced by various companies from the 1890s through approximately the 1930s. The name comes from the method of speed control… …
50Motoröl — Unter Motoröl versteht man landläufig jede Sorte von Schmieröl, die dazu geeignet ist, einen Verbrennungsmotor zu schmieren. Im weiteren Sinne gehören auch die Zweitaktöle zu den Motorölen, ebenso wie alle die Schmieröle, die für andere Motor… …
