<Atomizer magnet>
(Claim? "The resultant conditioned fuel/air mixture magnetized in opposite polarities burns more completely, producing higher engine output, better fuel economy, more power and most importantly reduces the amount of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust.") <"FUEL ECONOMY HYDROGEN GENERATOR COOLING RADIATOR"> (Used "TO DECIPATE HEAT ON FUEL CELLS( HHO GENERATORS) AUTOMOVITE TRANSMISSIONS.") Check those out for us, too, yeh?

Re: Has anyone tried pulstar sparkplugs?
Pulstar leads down that path, imho. Keep us posted!

Re: Has anyone tried pulstar sparkplugs?
The only thing I can think of is if some sort of capacitor was in there, somewhere. But then I am guessing the plug would be a bit bigger, or have ancillary equipment that would require installation.
Also, if that were the case, wouldn't the first few cycles either be dead or weakened in order to charge the capacitor? It just doesn't make sense. Makes me want to look up their patent number and evaluate their technical drawings.

Re: Has anyone tried pulstar sparkplugs?
So I went back and looked up their site... I am damn close in my guesses...

Re: Has anyone tried pulstar sparkplugs?
The last time I looked into them, about this time last year. The research actually showed it was a scam. I also bought one, and noticed no difference between that and a standard plug when attached to a small two cycle engine. (I never tested on the SVX, it takes to long to swap plugs.) What I can tell you is, because the capacitors are right on top of the plugs in our cars, scientifically (yes I have a degree) there can be no change between one or the other unless you up the voltage going to the capacitors. and at what like $80 a piece, that is pretty dicey. otherwise you are really creating more resistance by creating inline capacitors. It could even throw off the timing a bit.
Admittedly my science expertise is human medicine, but you do brush a bit past the physical sciences.

The theory for it is, when a coil fires, its maximum voltage is determined by the in line resistance (plug gap). The coil will build a voltage to overcome the resistance of the plug. If the plug has deposits on the center electrode that have a lower resistance that the gap, some of the coils energy will leak away down the electrode as the coil is building its voltage, before it is high enough to jump the gap. This robs some of the energy, that will end up jumping the gap. The old way of curring this was to create a gap in the plug lead, by inserting a button with the leads connected to opposite holes. This forced the coil to develop a higher voltage to jump across the button, so that it did not have time to leak down the side of the insulator. This is going back 70 years. After this we started to get devices that fitted on top of the plug that did the same. Then we got plugs with the built in gap that did the same thing. I would think this is a revival of this old trick, which was very useful on engines that burnt a lot of oil, and had coils of low output. The SVX does not fall into that category, and does not need this help. Harvey.

As far as the whole capacitor idea.... bunk... a capacitor is only useful because it can store energy and has the ability to charge/dump energy at the same very high rate. There are two big problems with this working here. 1) it only does one or the other, in or out, the fastest way to transmit power is without stopping... it would be better to send it straight through 2) Capacitors work based on fluxuation and demand.... your ignition doesn't fluxuate, it pulses.... just like binary code it has two options.... your cylinders don't 'demand' energy... meaning they wouldn't draw the energy from the capacitor theoretically located in the spark plug the energy being pushed in would build for a few cycles and blow up. If you're wiring a stereo, and you put a capacitor between the amp and the subs.... nothing works.... the amp is what demands the power because it's being told to generate a frequency and it needs power to do it.... the subs don't draw anything.... |

$25.00 for just one spark plug would be a bit much for auto manufactures. They used to put tires on new cars that cost them $2 but a fer law suits brought them out of that mode. Keith |

Re: Has anyone tried pulstar sparkplugs?
Previously posted:[quote=iizbeastie;586598]The added spark simply ignites more of the fuel initially
I could see a possible advantage in that. Keith No degree here but it looks like I guessed why they work better. Starting the fuel ignition with a larger beginning would make the complete fuel air mixture burn closer to the same time. As far as a capacitor is concerned, the pulse associated with the capacitor discharging through the coil through the spark plugs gap to ground was the reason fuel was ignited for decades before the electronic ignition. Remember the old "points and condenser" The pulse occurred when the points opened.Taking time to build up voltage on the capacitor was never a consideration. a charge on a capacitor is instantaneous and discharges a sharp sign wave as you can tell on an oscilloscope. It works with either ac voltage or "pulsating" dc voltage for a circuit for current flow. There are two different approaches in life. Learning the words... or understanding the message. Hopefully we each have a bit of each! Keith |
