Abstract
A detonation pickup testing system, comprising: (i) apparatus for coupling to at least one terminal of a detonation pickup; and (ii) a computational system, for communicating with the pickup via with the apparatus, to test at least one characteristic, excluding or in addition to DC resistance, of the detonation pickup.
Claims23
A detonation pickup testing system, comprising:
- apparatus for coupling to at least one terminal of a detonation pickup;
- and
- a computational system, for communicating with the pickup via the apparatus, to test at least one characteristic of the detonation pickup, the at least one characteristic excluding or in addition to DC resistance of the detonation pickup.
An apparatus used to test a detonation pickup, the detonation pickup for testing ignition properties of fuel, comprising:
- a member for coupling to the pickup;
- and
- apparatus, coupled to the member, for retaining a movable device relative to the member, the apparatus for retaining comprising apparatus for retaining the movable member at a first position away from a face of the pickup and apparatus for releasing the apparatus for retaining so as to apply an increase in force against the face.
An apparatus used to a test a detonation pickup that is used for testing ignition properties of fuel, comprising:
- a test engine for coupling to a detonation pickup;
- and
- a member for coupling electrical energy stimulus to the detonation pickup while the test engine is running and during a period of time separated from a combustion event of the test engine.
An apparatus used to test a detonation pickup, the detonation pickup for testing ignition properties of fuel, comprising:
- a member for coupling proximate a face of the pickup;
- and
- an actuator, coupled to the member, for controlling a force applied to the face of the pickup, the force representative of an event other than an engine combustion force event.
