It is time that we plasmabougies going to use?

The spark plug as part of the inflammation has been in existence since 1876 (Autowiki). While we all internal combustion engines are trying to modernize, is the principle of a overspringend spark always stuck to exactly that: talking about a jump of a spark. Federal-Mogul thinks the answer to: plasmabougies.

The plasmabougie – in the tuningwereld already a well-known concept of the American Federal-Mogul does not work with a gap between electrodes between which a spark is generated. Their plasmabougie that is part of the Advanced Corona Ignition System has a number of points that an ion flow in an electric field generate. The operation of a plasma sphere, but in the small. Works slightly better when cold and moisture.

The advantage, according to Federal-Mogul, is that the benzinemengsels with plasmabougies are faster to ignite. Especially in times of downsizing, which muesliemotortjes skimpy to be tuned, the more complex a mixture is properly ignited. The problem with modern engines, describes Kris Mixell, project manager at Federal-Mogul, as follows:

“As you add more exhaust gas or reduce the amount of fuel, the mixture becomes very, very difficult to ignite. But you only have the same amount of time for that to happen. The multiple arcs from the ACIS plug overcome that.”

Both the starting time, length and the shape of the plasmabogen can be adapted by this plasmabougies, making Federal-Mogul the motorinstellingen can change and cars to 10 percent more efficiently. First see than believe, is what we usually call, but they are also working on it. According to Automotive News, there are currently, 10 automakers involved with the system and they want to the spark plugs in 2017 all in different engines stitches. What brands + models they say that there only not.

The difference between a regular spark plug and the plasmaexemplaar of Federal-Mogul:

The will us wonder what in the automotive world, the upper hand will get: plasmabougies or laserbougies.
