In internal-combustion engines with electric ignition, a plug, screwed into the cylinder head, connected with the induction coil or magneto circuit on the outside, and used to produce a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine.
A device inserted into the combustion chamber of an engine that provides the gap across which the high-tension voltage jumps, creating a spark that ignites the compressed fuel-air mixture.
Insulated plug that supports the electrodes between which the high voltage spark passes to initiate ignition.
The part that threads into the top of the head and arch's a spark when energized by the ignition system. This spark causes the fuel/air mixture to explode and push the piston down.
Device to get a source of ignition in the combustion chamber.
It is instrumental in converting high voltage energy into an arc that passes between its electrodes. This arc allows the gasoline-air mixture in the cylinder to ignite and expand, fetching power by pressing down the piston.
A device used on a petrol (gasoline) engine to produce the spark to ignite the fuel air mixture. The inner electrode is connected to a high voltage generator whilst the outer electrode is connected to the engine body to form a return path. The gap between the two electrodes is only small and the high voltage causes electricity to jump the gap and in so doing produces a spark. The high voltage source is only made available when a spark is required. and is triggered by the engine timing.
electrical device that fits into the cylinder head of an internal-combustion engine and ignites the gas by means of an electric spark
a device, inserted into the combustion chamber of an engine, containing a side electrode and insulated center electrode spaced to provide a gap for firing an electrical spark to ignite air-fuel mixtures
a device placed in cylinder heads in internal combustion engines, functioning on the principle of spark-ignition of a mixture of air and fuel
a device used in an internal combustion engine -- that is, an engine that derives its power via exploding gases inside a combustion chamber -- to ignite the air-fuel mixture

an important part of the ignition system as it produces the spark that ignites the petrol/air mixture in the engine's cylinder
A porcelain-insulated metal device that conducts high-voltage electricity across a gap between two electrodes to ignite the fuel mixture.
A device with two electrodes insulated from each other by a ceramic material, which screws into an engine combustion chamber. When the HT voltage is applied to the plug terminal, a spark jumps across the electrodes and ignites the fuel/air mixture.
The spark plug converts high voltage energy into an arc that passes between its electrodes. The arc causes the gasoline-air mixture in the cylinder to ignite and expand, providing power by pushing down the piston.
A device that delivers the electrical spark to the combustion chamber. This ignites the fuel/air mixture and produces the power that drives the engine.
A little device sitting in the middle of the cylinder head, which generates an electric spark when the piston has reached the top point, and the air - fuel mixture is compressed. The spark will ignite the air - fuel mixture which will rapidly burn off. This in turn will drive the piston down again. Spark plugs are relatively cheap and should be checked often and replaced if necessary, typically every 4 to 5 races. A special spark plug tool is used to remove the plug. The temperature sensor is located around the base of the plug. The sensor to measure the RPM is attached to the spark plug cable. The spark plug cable is attached to the plug via the sending unit. The size of the gap at the bottom of the plug varies depending on the kind of spark plug and should be the gap specified by the engine manufacturer.
A device screwed into the combustion chamber of a spark ignition engine. The basic construction is a conductive core inside of a ceramic insulator, mounted in an outer conductive base. An electrical charge from the spark plug wire travels along the conduc
An ignition component threaded into the cylinder head that contains two electrodes extending into the cylinder that form a gap across which high-voltage electricity arcs to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture.
Converts voltage into an arc that passes between its electrodes; the arc ignites the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber. The mixture explodes, creating power by pushing down the piston.
A spark plug (also very rarely nowadays in British English, a sparking plug) is an electrical device that fits into the cylinder head of some internal combustion engines and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by means of an electric spark. Spark plugs have an insulated center electrode which is connected by a heavily insulated wire to an ignition coil or magneto circuit on the outside, forming, with a grounded terminal on the base of the plug, a spark gap inside the cylinder. Early patents for spark plugs included those by Nikola Tesla (in for an ignition timing system, 1898), Richard Simms (GB 24859/1898, 1898) and Robert Bosch (GB 26907/1898).
