spark plug/capacitor test

[bikr1975]

well, what if the spark grounds out on the head?? the spark plug could be kinda welded to the head right?

[javajoe1974]

So how does this affect the car? I would assume the 2nd spark plug w the plasma would ignite the fuel quicker - or at the other extreme -causing premature ignition (pinging)? Just guesses.

[tattoostudio666]

Holy Shit!!!!

I have being serching webs to find it!!! Its like Stan Mayer Firestorm Spark Plug!

You gave me some nice idea!

I would like to buy Pylstar Spark Plugs (with internal capacitor) and F-16 Pulse King to get no missfires!!!?? And also gonna put heater for fuel and HHo I am installijng ;]

Big Thanks Pal! lol!

now just spray something flamable on it.

[sprydo7]

What is your opinion with regard on the brand Nology spark plug wires...this has the capacitor built in within the wire itself. Was wondering if the spark kernal is lid up as brightly as you have on this video? And what potential advantages can this give on the Honda VTEC motors. Please forward your comments as time permits. Thank you very much!

Hi adam ant :)

I tried to add the capacitors to my diesel generator once, but it did not start.

FUNNY I'VE SEEN A LOT OF DIESEL ENGINES BUT NEVER ONE WITH SPARKPLUGS???

[masster64]

nice focus... we see clearly the wall behind the table.

[wifi0dead]

neon light transformer. that's cheating, they are very very powerful and dangerous, read side label ! to do a proper test, is to use a real igntion off your car then compare the spark ith each plug. the put the spark plug under pressure. many wide gap plugs fail at high pressure. by the way the caps are tuned to the coil. it forms a TANK circuit and is TUNED. This is what dictates duration of spark. each induction coil needs a perfect sized cap. basic LC circuit engineering. wiki it.

Im trying to get a spark plug to work in a spud gun, what the best way to do that?, only need a little spark...

[newagemotor]

OH DAMB ! I PEED MYSELF ! If I could have had spark like that all these years in my old hotrod cars, OH THE THINGS I WOULD HAVE DONE !!!

[voon100]

If I ever step onto the shore of USA, the first thing I'll buy is a 15Kv neon transformer and lug it home with me.

[shacodbe]

so the spark plug with no ground electrode will make a more powerful ignition, cuz it isnt being blocked? right|?

[danny18999]

buzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[lilluey748]

whare can i get a transformer like that?

[mapleguy1029384756]

@lilluey748 Thats not a transformer its a spark plug ans they use inductance to make sparks and its complicated search on wikipedia

[TheHumanParacite]

@mapleguy1029384756 , That spark plug is connected to a neon sign transformer. Also spark plugs do not use inductance to make sparks (that statement does not make sense), the transformer uses inductance to create a high voltage. The spark plug itself is just a gap where the high voltage allows the current to cross through the air, or spark.

[robotpredator8]

where did u get the spark plug?

[kevykev38]

Why are people afraid to talk when taping their videos?

[mapleguy1029384756]

@kevykev38 Cuz if you talk, you might sound gay thats all i know

[windsurf7772]

hahahaha

[kevykev38]

hahahaha

[voon100]

For me is another phobia and a handicap that I can't articulate myself that well...thats me anyway.

[kevykev38]

@voon100 OIC

[jonatharivera]

can you build this with 9

[TomasZEX10]

please someone tell me fast whats that thing that u check the voltage of capasitor is called??????????????????and what kinda 1 would i need it, i only need for checking capasitors from my graphic card!

[bimbolino14]

can you build this with 9 ore 12v batteries for a spudgun

[odi22865]

Please send me a Pm with a diagram because i only ned a good sprak for my spud gun and i dont want to buy any shit.

but i have some (verybigpile) of some stuff with many capacitors.

[capacitor70]

Same thing I observed with my plasma spark plug. gives much bigger blast with removed negative electrode.

[timothyfoley32]

Hi, Jetijs. I'm looking at testing spark plugs to duplicate what might happen in an engine...where do I start?

timmy

[salmanctr]

which Caps whould i use for honda B16

[trillakilla]

wat spark plugs r u runnin i got the same motor

[bccritters]

hey Jetijs, adam ant---

have you tried to install some caps on your car spark plugs? much cheeper than using a fancy MSD or Jacobs ignition system..

[Jetijs]

Hi adam ant :)

I tried to add the capacitors to my diesel generator once, but it did not start. You see, each induction coil can output only so much power and if your capacitors are too big, all the power will get into them and not reach the voltage required for the spark to jump. So you must carefully adjust the capacity so that each power pulse can fill them fully before discharge.

[Jetijs]

The cap acts basically as a buffer of some kind, it stores all the energy the coil produces and then releases it in a much shorter but powerful pulse.

[GB3RND]

How do you wire spark plugs on a diesel?

I wasn't aware compression ignition engines had ignition systems.

[trillakilla]

what did u do to the spark plug ot make it spark like that? can i do this to my spark plugs i want more spark for better gas mileage

[dreamyear]

how dangerous is this test?

[HHONOW]

Hi,

This is great! What is the voltage and amps. which you are running through the caps. then on to the spark plug??

[Jetijs]

Those are 4000V 0.001 uF capacitors. You have to adjust the capacity for max performace and it depends of the volts and amps that your power supply/ignition coil puts out. If the capacity will be too big, then no spark will appear if using AC and only every second or third spark will appear if DC is used. If the capacity is too small, you will get only minor improvement. You need to select the capacity so that the cap can fully charge and discharge on each impulse, just like in a Tesla coil.

[sbjorgy]

Thanks for the infor. Is this by trail and error or is there a formula? I thought that most auto induction coils produce about 25kv and up. Steve

[haroon131]

@Jetijs

i want to do some mods with my Civic and Ls 400, both are distributor model. and i guess coils is providing around 40Kv.... i need the exact value of capaictor to do mod....

Thanx....

[davidlocatelli1979]

@Jetijs hi buddy, what kind are these capacitors, can you give me the especifications? thanks and how can choose the rigth capacitor for coil of 35.000 v, aprecciate if you can help.

[sbjorgy]

I like it, I see that you have two capacitors in series then wired in parallel to the resistor, I too would like to know the value of the caps and is the spark plug a resistor type? If you could give the number of the plug it would help. Again, a very eye opening test. You should check out " Waterfuel1978 " yahoo group, if you haven't already. Steve

[HHONOW]

What value capacitor did you use in this test?

Very interesting spark pattern! Now that could be very useful!

HHONOW

[m3sca1]

i like it =] do you have a toriodal magnet you poke the end thru?

[pochintwin]

Nice...
