ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for delivering high electrical energy levels by means of an igniter to an air-fuel mixture within an engine, is disclosed. The method and apparatus utilizes any of a variety of igniters of simple construction in an ignition system powered by an non-DC source to obtain extremely high current excursion peaks and extremely high alternating voltage levels feeding the igniters sequentially with the result of obtaining high intensity and high velocity plasma arcs of ionized matter. Such ionized matter may be subjected to a magnetic field integral with each igniter to substantially increase the energy level of the plasma, visually noting the increase in plasma intensity with audible increase in plasma velocity in an experimental set-up. The plasma generates ozone from the air component of the mixture or in the experimental set-up from the air surrounding the igniter, which ozone materially increases the fuel combustion rate and consequently improves engine operating efficiency.
