Spark plug wires carry high voltage to spark plugs in internal combustion engines. Traditional systems use wires to connect ignition coil to distributor and spark plugs, while distributorless systems connect coil packs directly to spark plugs. Mishandling wires in high voltage systems can cause serious injury. Wires can be damaged by heat and short to […]
Spark testing identifies ferrous metals by generating sparks through grinding or heating the sample. Each alloy has a unique spark pattern, and automatic spark testing eliminates human error. The process is quick and inexpensive but can damage the sample. It can also be used to sort samples by type. Chemical analysis may be used for […]
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a fast and cost-effective technique that uses direct current pulses to create spark energy between particles of a material, resulting in high-density structures. It can be applied to ceramics, composites, and nanostructures, and produces uniform heating and density. SPS has low operating costs, short completion times, and can be used […]
Replacing the distributor cap and spark plug wires is easy with just a Phillips screwdriver and some labels. Replace the rotor too, and make sure to maintain the order of the spark plug wires. Install the new wires by following the same order as the old ones. It is very easy to change the distributor […]
The spark-gap transmitter was an early technology that allowed for radio communication through electromagnetic waves. It relied on two electrodes separated by a gap and Morse code for transmission. While not widely used today due to inefficiency and interference issues, it laid the foundation for modern radio communication. A spark-gap transmitter produces electromagnetic waves that […]
Spark gaps are gaps between electrodes where electric sparks jump, often accompanied by light and sound. They are used in power switching tubes, surge protectors, spark plugs, and Jacob’s ladders. Spark gaps can cause health problems if they form continuous arcs, but are useful for igniting fuel sources and protecting electronics from power surges. A […]
