The Extreme Art of Miniaturization The average lightning bolt measures about an inch wide and five miles long. The temperature of lightning can reach around 30,000 K. The electricity in a single bolt can reach 200 million volts. An average duration of time for a stroke of lightning is about 30 microseconds. The average peak power of a stroke of lightning is about 1012 watts. A single bolt of lightning carries an energy 5 billion joules. Spark plugs in automobiles generally have a gap between 0.6 and 1.8 mm

Spark Plug

Physics of Sparking In 1889, F. Pashchen published a paper which set out what has become known as Paschen's Law. The law essentially states that, at higher pressures (above a few torr) the breakdown characteristics of a gap are a function (generally not linear) of the product of the gas pressure and the gap length. Usually written as V= f( pd ), where p is the pressure and d is the gap distance. Extensive additional experiments for different materials, lower pressures, different gases and a variety of electrode shapes have expanded the data set involved.

Paschen Curve Paschen found that breakdown voltage was described by the equation Pd (Pa-m) Where V is the breakdown voltage, p is the pressure, d is the gap distance. The constants a and b depend upon the composition of the gas. For air at standard atmospheric pressure of 101 kPa, a = 43.6×106 V/(atm·m) and b = 12.8. What is signature of an Ignition System ?

Measurement of Minimum Ignition Energy

Theoretical & Practical Minimum Spark Energy The minimum ignition energy is a measure of required energy for a localised ignition source to successfully create a temperature higher than SIT. The practical minimum energy required to ignite an air-fuel mixture is much higher. Effect of Various Parameters on MIE: Distance Between Electrodes Fuel Equivalence Ratio Initial Temperature Air Movement

Duty of An Ignition System The purpose of a spark ignition system is to provide enough energy into a small gas volume, in the vicinity of the electrode gap. Energy provided by SIS must ensure a successful initiation of the combustion process. This energy is initially stored as electrical energy in the ignition system and is converted into thermal energy when released into the spark gap.

Simplified electrical scheme of a coil ignition system The evolution of the electrical energy of the secondary circuit The energy is not entirely transferred to the spark: a substantial part is lost by Joule effect.
