The spark plug has not really changed in 120 years.While there have been many introductions based on manipulation of the electrodes they are still limited to 50 watts of power &

Power ignites fuel !

-Improved fuel economy -Lower emissions -More power

What is a pulse plug?What is a pulse plug?

Efficient energy management

Pulsed power technology – accumulating energy over a relatively long period of time and releasing it very quickly thus increasing the instantaneous power. Sandia National Laboratories – leader in pulsed power technology.

Z Machine - 290 trillion watts - 4 billionths of a second, about 80 times the entire world's output of electricity.

A spark plug with integral capacitor that employs intelligent energy management to increase the amount of ignition energy coupled to the fuel charge.

Evolution

• HDI Systems acquired by Combustion Technology Products Corp. 1990• Assistance by Sandia National Laboratories to perfect design and engineering 1992• Assistance by Amoco Polymers to develop insulating dielectric for design 1993• First commercially viable current peaking capacitor introduced to the automotive aftermarket 1994

• First patent on “peaking spark power” with a capacitor 1918• First Company (HDI Systems) patent 1982 • First commercial test Chrysler Corp. 1986

50 Watts

Energy from the coil is stored in the patented capacitor. At the exact moment needed the energy is released in a high energy pulse increasing cylinder pressure by as much as 10% producing more torque.

This comparison was captured on high-speed video ( 68,000 frames/sec). It shows the Pulse Plugs flame kernel growing larger and larger. Fuel burns sooner and more efficiently, which results in added power and better fuel mileage.

Benefits of Pulse TechnologyBenefits of Pulse Technology

• Increased Horsepower (up to 12%)• Improved Fuel Economy ( up to 10% )

• More Towing Capacity • Improved Torque and Throttle Response• Improved Cold Starts• Reduced CO2
