NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for follow-on effort to provide engineering and technical support for continuing the technology development of a fiber optic coupled laser ignition ...
A research team replaced the conventional spark-plug ignition of the gasoline engine with a laser-based system, yielding improvements in engine performance and reduced emissions. Despite all the ...
MOSCOW, June 22. /TASS/. Russia has tested a laser ignition system for the oxygen-hydrogen rocket engine for the first time. This work brings Russia closer to developing a reliable engine for reusable ...
Laser ignition (LI) is a promising electrode-less alternative to electronic spark ignition of lean fuel/air mixtures, offering high thermal efficiency with low harmful emissions. One of the most ...
To meet the ignition system needs of large bore high pressure lean burn natural gas engines a laser diode side pumped passively Q-switched laser igniter was designed and tested. The laser was designed ...
Generally, homogeneous mixture combustion is preferred at high loads in conventional spark-ignition engines. But homogeneous mixture combustion can lead to high hydrocarbon (HC) emissions at low loads ...
LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in California have emerged as key players in a state-of-the-art program for the U.S. Army that focuses on the design and manufacturing ...
We're always looking for ways to make more power without spending too much money. We bolt on carburetors and intake manifolds. We also perform cam swaps in our quest for power. When that doesn't meet ...
Corvettes have had electronic ignition systems for over 40 years, starting with the powerful, dependable Delco HEI (high energy ignition) system in 1975 models. Prior to that, nearly all Corvettes, ...
