Transient Plasma Systems is working on a new advanced ignition system that could replace traditional spark plugs in gasoline engines. This could reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of internal ...

As long as the internal combustion engine has existed, engineers have been trying to find better ways of igniting the highly combustable mixture of air and gasoline that powers cars. Everything from ...

Could diesel particulate filter (DPF) regenerations become a thing of the past? A Southern California startup that is gaining the attention of OEMs believes it’s possible. For the past few years in ...

We get frequent reminders that we are on the "bleeding edge" of autodom's electrification. And the reality is that because of huge EV production investments and battery costs, as well as range and ...

An advanced new ignition module for cars could potentially make internal combustion engines significantly more fuel-efficient, reducing their environmental impact and bringing down operating costs for ...

At 7,000 rpm, a spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture nearly 60 times per second. Any one of those 60 sparks going amiss can at best be mildly annoying, and at worst cost you a race or an engine.

As long as there have been internal combustion engines, there has been a need for an ignition system to ignite the air and fuel mixture in the cylinders. From the earliest days of automotive ignitions ...
