ABSTRACT:
A volume ignition system for internal combustion engines causes ignition processes of fuel by location of a high voltage electrode (1) of a spark plug inside an engine's cylinder. Electrical discharges are created basically from the high voltage electrode (1), during movement of a piston (6) with a connected ring (5), as low voltage electrodes, around the high voltage electrode (1), and to a low voltage electrode (2), connected to the spark plug's metallic body, as sliding discharges. Sliding discharges are created over an insulator (3) along metallization (4), with an extremely large surface area. Discharge plasma is injected into a combustion chamber with flames from inside of the ring (5) and a hollow (7).
