Abstract
An ignition plug wire for an internal combustion engine has an elongated conductor with a programmable capacitor module disposed in-line with the elongated conductor. The programmable capacitor module is configured to step up or convert the ignition voltage normally supplied by an ignition coil to a plasma voltage. An inventive ignition plug if configured such that the anode enclosed within the insulator includes or is replaced by a voltage converting module designed to convert the ignition voltage into a plasma voltage. The voltage converting module consists of a semiconductor circuit, a composite semiconductor material, or a capacitor.
Claims16
An ignition plug wire, comprising:
- an elongated conductor having a first end configured for connection to an ignition coil and a second end configured for connection to an ignition plug;
- wherein the elongated conductor is configured to deliver an ignition voltage from the ignition coil to the ignition plug;
- and
- a programmable capacitor module disposed in-line with the elongated conductor between the first end and the second end, wherein the programmable capacitor module is configured to convert the ignition voltage to a plasma voltage.
A plasma ignition plug, comprising:
- an anode concentrically disposed within a generally cylindrical cathode;
- an insulator disposed between the anode and the cathode;
- and
- a voltage converting module disposed within the insulator and electrically in-line with the anode, wherein the voltage converting module is configured to convert an ignition voltage to a plasma voltage.
