Ball Spark Plug Test

[Hardwyre]

Shut the fuck up Cbate; you're a fucking spammer and the "Pulse King" is a piece of shit.

[cbateman9707]

You can accomplish the same thing by buying an

F-16 Pulse King on ebay for 69.95 it attaches to the battery and works all your stock sparkplugs.

G'day mate,

Hey, thanks for the tip, I'll look into it! It looks interesting.

Cheers

made the ball tipped plug already in 1991

[ozicell]

G'day,

How did it go? Did you road test it? What sort of earth straps did you use?

Eager to hear how it all went.

Cheers

Hi there. I suppose you are wondering why this was not mentioned years ago. I worked for the Ford motor company. I was not employed to develop spark plug technology. I just developed an idea, manufactured it, tested it in fords. The plug was great and not really any dearer to make. upset a lot of people higher up. the plug is a double platinum ball tipped spark plug. I still have some. I am new to the internet. saw all the fuss about firestorm. so just posted my comment. happy to talk .

G'day Ian,

Thanks for getting back to me. can you give some idea of how they affected fuel economy etc? Also, was the ball inside a cage like firestorm or did it just have a single earth strap?

Cheers

@iansnews but you shelved it, you should be doing everything you can to spread the knowledge of it's existence

[Queeranus]

Something in this doesn't look right, there should be WAY bigger sparks.

[intelligentone]

Is this just a regular spark plug modified or the whole spark plug was made? Otherwise make sure there is a very low resistance in the spark plug. Almost all spark plugs nowadays have a 5k resistor in them.

[ozicell]

Just a resistorless plug which I modified.

Cheers

Nice, maybe Brazil can import the Firestorms. Till then, all we have are prototypes. Good luck.

[ozicell]

Cheers and ditto!

Ingenious...the ACTUAL credit for this should go to Nikola Tesla first...but, yes Ozi should get credit for implementing it in a spark plug. But, it was the great Nikola Tesla who was using orbs on spark gaps over a hundred years ago. He found that orbs hold the highest amount of charge.(sharp points holding the least) Very nice indeed....clever adaptation!

[ozicell]

Thanks Zero,

I'd love to take the credit but alas I can't! The credit goes to Robert Krupa, I am only copying his Firestorn design. I can tell you that my preliminary road testing is showing good things so I intend to keep tinkering.

Cheers

Excellent Much as the Firestorm. The Firestorm appears to have the same gap to the earth "Bands" over the whole "Ball" area - not for example having the center further than the sides. I only hope that the Firestorm will go into production- or come to that yours! If you read the Halo blurb one can read of the initial (which went on for some time)production problems in producing a reliably strong and long lasting plug. What should the plug be made of?

[ozicell]

G'day and thanks for your thoughts.

My research is all for personal use, I am not looking towards manufacture. I believe that Mt. Krupa is getting very close to manufacture and marketing. But if along the way, anything I have done can be helpful to others, then I am all for it. At this stage, plug materials are all experimental, my ball is stainless steel but many other materials would also be suitable.

Cheers

I'm convinced this concept should work. The Halo spark plugs I just purchased took me from 30 to 35 mpg on average and I'm not surprised because I actually feel more power, it doesn't drive the same as it did before, much more powerful. They both work on the concept of eliminating single point firing, although the Ball spark plug I believe innovates that even further.

[ozicell]

G'day Ciphre,

Thanks for your comments

Cheers

[ozicell]

Thanks for the thoughts. At the moment it's very early days, I am presently making a nitrogen pressure test chamber and will put up vids as they become available. Also looking into spark enhancement circuits.

Cheers

hi looking good if it can be plasma generated and a tweaking idea is if you could make it like a gas lamp filament and then spray water and if made out of platinum should be awesome
