Ignition Videos

Below are a few videos that I have found interesting, not all directly related to ignition systems but interesting..

Did you know?

The electricity induced by the ignition coil rises to over 20,000 volts.

The temperature of an ignition spark is between 4000 degC and 5000 degC. Thats close to the sun's surface temperature.

The ignition spark lasts around .002 seconds(2ms).

At 6000 RPM an engine just takes .010 seconds(10ms) to do 1 revolution.

After ignition, combustion pressure can easily reach 400psi
