PULSED PLASHA IGNITOR FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

Preliminary test results are presented on a new type of ignition system which is designed to permit operation of an internal combustion engine in the ultralean region where there is a potential of reducing NO subx emissions and increasing engine efficiency. The new ignition system utilizes electro-magnetic body forces to drive the ignition kernel into the combustion chamber acting, in effect, as an extended multiple source. /GMRL/
