ABSTRACT:
A spark plug having the electrodes composed of twisted stainless steel wire with their spark gap ends frayed so as to give more spark contacting area, reduce heat and eliminate wear on the electrodes, thus giving a stronger, more efficient spark and more efficient combustion of the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders. A sealing means is also incorporated in the interior of the plug to prevent escape of any combustion products. The frayed ends will vibrate during the firing cycle, which will shake off any carbon which may tend to accumulate on them. A modification shows the ends of the wires not frayed but solid and clean cut.
