Josh Withrow as you add capacitors in series, the total capacitance decreases. The spark plug is basically an inductor and a capacitor so it’s an LC circuit. For LC Circuits, frequency = 1/(2pi*sqrt(LC)) where L is inductance and C is capacitance. So as he decreases the capacitance, it’s making the denominator of that equation smaller so larger frequency
😂😂😂 I can't deny your logic. I've played with microwave transformers... (Enough voltage and current to turn me into a charcoal brickette) ...for the scientific learning experience 😅
Your ignition system will be making less than 5 KV with that spark gap so won't run an engine. To do a real test, open the spark gap to 3 cm and repeat with the capacitors.
сама свеча имеет активное сопротивление в керамическом канале. Он его просто замыкает через конденсаторы, котроые имеют значительно меньшее сопротивление для высокой частоты. Ничего удивительного. Кроме как для незнающих этот момент
Is impressive how the spark plug really increases the power. But the is question how long the spark plug last without failure due to electrodes worn out or cracked porcelain? On the other hand, I cannot see how you can put the capacitors on the engine without the terminal caps arcing?
When running Capacitors in series, you get LESS Capacitance (formula = 1 (1/c1 + 1/c2/ 2/c3), so you are getting around 73pf capacitance. You are getting enough KV in series to handle your 30KV coil. You would get better results with one capacitor of required KV because the capacitance of one capacitor would be higher than series capacitance. Your test using multiple strings of capacitors increased current, because you kept adding 73PF each time, by adding capacitors strings in parallel.
With this simple plasma ignition you will not reduce the spark plug life that much. I have this system on my car and I did not see excessive wear of my spark plugs. Your statement is only true with actively charged capacitor plasma ignition which I also have once installed on my car.
Okki Moeljadi every spark removes surface atoms....the more powerful or the more frequent the sparks are....the more surface get pulled away.....so yea the spark plugs will wear down alot faster.
LOL, Capacitors are storing the current on each cycle then releasing when the arc ignites each pulse. The frequency change is due to the circuit resonance and if you notice, the current output from the HV supply basically cant handle much more than two strings of caps. The RFI increases thanks to the higher current flows. Shitty camera Mic used that is getting swamped by it.
It does absolutely gain my interest to see this. Is it true that the spark plug contact areas will rapidly erode from this treatment & the " gap" should become greater & greater as the metal itself is lost at the molecular level from the intense electrical discharge?
Yes, the bigger the spark the faster the erosion of the electrodes. I use only 73 pF for my car, that is a good compromise for me. I have tried water plasma circuit and all electrodes were gone before I reached 300 km.
There are 3 ways to change from regular negative ignition to positive ignition. With small battery draw, a cylinder type motorcycle coil can be used with accessory Stens ignition module. Just follow instruction sheet, and switch leads + and - . The magnetos and Magnetrons use the magnet energy from flywheel. The second method is to purchase the older style pre 1982 Magneto only, which is just a transformer. Make sure of small or regular size as 12HP engine. Mount upside down and add the Stens accessory trigger module with directions. Add high voltage diode with cathode band facing forward, and will prove Positive high volts output. The briggs brand trigger module can also be used , you have to file edges to get it to fit on metal core leg. Briggs regular Magnetrons will not work upside down because of the embedded Briggs brand trigger. The Stens unit works both as plus and minus trigger. 3rd method is to use existing modern NEW STYLE Briggs Magnetron with embedded trigger type as only UNIVERSAL TRIGGER. The new China modules have this with a push terminal. Briggs sells this also now with their imprint in unit but higher priced. Mount as normal on engine mount with change as -- 2 plastic MM washers underneath core to insulate , and 2 plastic metric screws to tighten with gap set about .012" against flywheel. Put rubber boot plug wire to chassis ground, and obtain another insulated ignition cable to connect to metal of magneto under screw, and out to plug. You can then also test with 10kv diode. Units with universal trigger work at lower RPMS for starting, as like the very old style lawnmowers did .Circuits as these work better as when running extra energy with the sparking plug. And of cource you would have to verify zero ohms spark pl;ug, or exchange the internal resistor of Champian plug with #12 copper wire at top of plug.
No I'm not on any medication. I'm an Indonesian and I don't speak English on daily basis. On this channel I try to share my research in English just because it is more international than German. FYI, I speak German fluently. I already made my public apology here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Utbyo4qAxao.html
The current isn't constant, it's actually pulsing at a high frequency. I think that the capacitors get charged when the current is flowing and then discharge across the gap when the current stops.
If this work so good... than any car factory used it from 70s. And if they don't... maybe it is not so good as it seems. To make this test good - you have to make air pressure on electrodes equal to that it is in runing engine.
Он просто добавляет конденсаторы и тем самым увеличивает длительность искры. Напряжение пробоя при этом падает, но этого не видно потому, что зазор маленький, а нужно ставить разрядник с зазором 7-8 мм. (это аналог работы зазора свечи при давлении сжатия смеси в цилиндре, 10-12 атм.) Фуфло короче.
Brilliant demonstration of how capacitance can create a stronger spark - however, most motorist wont see much gain unless there ignition system is very weak by design or you have modified the engine IE:- fitted a bigger turbo or increase the amount of boost to produce more power and the intake charge is too dense for the standard ignition system to fire it ! None the less im sure this will help those who need it - great work sir !
idenya bagus om tp sayang kalo di telan mentah mentah sama viewer yg ga paham bisa kaget klo piston bolong busi leleh. harusnya dikasi peringatan buat yg masih awam
Great video this help with performance most people don't know that a bad spark reduce power and waist fuel you can do this just with the coil no inverter and it will work to if you have a weak coil this will help you
Prabens for work, I can use 3x220pf / 15kv with my coil, SPA Turbo X-Force ignition coil 60.000V ignition coil Standard pole with center Pin a stronger spark will make sure that all the fuel inside the engine ignites, resulting in higher HP, and fuel economy Maximum Voltage: 60,000 Volts Primary Resistance: 0.3 Ohms Secondary Resistance: 6.5k Ohms Inductance: 3mH Turn ratio: 85: 1 Peak Current: 300mA
Just put platinum or iridium plugs. If you knew how engines work you would realise that you are making a weaker spark under compression and shortening the spark duration which = less power. Its a nice spark plug display to show your friends though. You need a strong solid single spark to make power, use fine electrode platinum or iridium and its done.
So its actually a smaller spark, since the ionized air being compressed then? Sorry I'm just asking, I dont have any electronics or engineer background. And so, this kind of method is better for making a wider gap of stun gun's contact points, maybe?
madazz01 But as far as i know, iridium spark plug had a resistor inside to prevent electrical damage for modern car e.g ECU, if so, then plasma ignition will never create ? Correct me if i'm wrong..
Does it applies to improve a motorcycle ignition? Does it increase the frequency or only the AMPs? If it increase the frequency I guess I won't work because of there won't be synchronicity with the engine cycles, right?
Hello friend, how are you? Congratulations on your video, it is very interesting. I did this experiment and it worked perfectly, however, to facilitate assembly, I placed the capacitor very close to the coil instead of placing it close to the spark plug as demonstrated in the video, and in this condition the spark is weaker than the original without capacitor. Can you tell me why the distance between the capacitor and the spark plug affects the performance of the circuit?
A very brave man using your fingers! Ok at least if the ignition circuit was not grounded and you did get a clout it would hopefully be between just your fingers! Trouble is with high voltages, grounding can take place anywhere!! Lol , great demo though.
Capacitors connected in series exponentially reduces the capacitance. Is this actually helpful here? Because i know that less capacitance means a faster discharge.
nice but if you connect more capacitors what about live of spark plug how often need to be replaced ? and is it useful for - for example 50 cc scooter ?
I use only one string of capacitors per spark plug on my car. I have reported the result on one of my videos. I don't know if it's useful for your engine or not.
Okki Moeljadi To use on a motorcycle, 3x220 is to much isn't it? A single cylinder motorcycle, 125cc, do you have a number that I can use instead of the 3x220?
If 73,3 pF (3 x 220 pF caps in series) is too much for your engine, you can put 4 x 220 pF caps in series (you will get 55 pF instead) or even 5. You have to find the optimum value yourself, I don't know your ignition coil.
Hi, I have a 3.0 L 6-cylinder gasoline turbo charged engine. What would be the best value capacitor? I'm not sure i'm understanding what makes a bigger spark. would a 220pf/30kv or a 100pf/30kv make a bigger spark?
Cruz Reyes, 220 pF capacitor will make bigger spark than 100 pF capacitor. Actually these capacitors make the ignition coil work hard but turbo boost makes the ignition coil work even harder. If you want big sparks, try 220 pF and see if it works until max boost and max revs. If not, install the 100 pF one and if you still have problem with it, you should replace your ignition coil with a better one (high power ignition coil or higher voltage ignition coil). I wish you much success with your project!
LMAO! RU-vid auto-subtitles classified that horrible buzzing as music. 🤣 Interesting effect though. Also, saw you mention you’re from Indonesia. What part? I’ve only been to Papua, which I hear is kind of a bad part, but even then it seemed nice to me. Loved all the long, lazy looping rivers I saw from the plane.
Okki Moeljadi That’s cool. Have a good one man. If you ever have the chance it would be interesting to see what quantifiable effect, if any the improved spark has on engine power.
because english is international language,,, indonesian used only in indo,,, using english mean more people will understand, and also almost indonesian people understand english ,,
Bet your radio listening and TV watching neighbors don't appreciate that so much. Of course since everything is digital now, they won't be able to guess why their picture is scrambled and stopped.
Could you explaina simple way to apply this system to an engine i think irs basically how a high output aftermarket ignition work's and im intersted inseeing if power gains could be had for less overall investment
For your drag car you need this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i9yY6DLNOWY.html Here is my article about that: www.m-opensolutions.com/?p=172
