Aircraft magneto systems provide high-voltage electricity to dual spark plugs per cylinder, offering redundancy and a slight power increase. Pilots perform pre-flight magneto checks during the run-up ...

Unless you’re lucky enough to fly a turbine or an engine with an electronic ignition system, the internal combustion engines you fly behind or between likely operate using a simple system involving a ...

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.

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 ...

Achieving PMA for the S-1200 Series magnetos is another step in expanding our commitment to providing the aviation community with the most trusted and durable ‘firewall forward’ solutions.” — Rick ...

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 ...
