ABSTRACT:
An ignition spark enhancing system and devices which, in one aspect, establish the electrical path between a spark source (e.g. an ignition coil) and a spark plug, and in another aspect, between a power source (e.g. battery) and an ignition coil and, in a third aspect, between the ignition coil and the spark distributor of an internal combustion engine. The devices preferably include a coil of one or more turns or loops formed on and along a length of a small segment of hollow conductive tubing. A length of solid conductive wire is wound in tightly spaced fashion around a portion of the conductive tubing and is formed in intermittent segments which are preferably electrically coextensive with the conductive tubing. The tubing and the wire are preferably copper and also preferably form each entire spark plug and ignition coil wire. The device is also preferably coated with a non-conductive material to reduce any risk of electrical shock or short circuit.
