Bosch is one of the largest manufacturers of any kind on the planet. It makes everything, from power tools to dishwashers, and it also supplies just about every automotive part you can think of.

Aircraft magnetos are self-contained ignition systems with dual spark plugs per cylinder, providing redundancy and power, and are crucial for engine operation. Pilots perform pre-flight magneto checks ...

Automotive ignitions systems have seen many transitions over the years. Historically, the designs have matured from a magneto to today’s coil-over-spark plug designs. The progression follows the ...

The ignition system has always been the weakest link in the combustion engine cycle. Belgian-born engineer, Jean Joseph tienne Lenoir, invented the stationary gasoline engine back in 1860 and he used ...

F. R. HAIGH has recently compared the relative advantages of magneto and coil ignition used for generating the explosions which occur in motor-car engines (Students' Quart. J. Inst. Elec. Eng., Dec.).

[Dan] wanted to learn a bit about solid state ignition in engines; to get started he needed a test subject, so he decided he would upgrade his old 12 horsepower lawnmower. Originally the lawnmower ...

Heat initiates the internal combustion process. Diesel engines utilize the temperature buildup from extremely high compression (pressure) to ignite the air/fuel mixture, with a little help from glow ...
