Resonance driven glow plug torch igniter and ignition method

摘要

An ignition system (18) for a combustion device utilizes an oscillating pressure force in a resonance system (36) to generate thermal energy within a resonance driven glow plug (52). The resonance driven glow plug (52) stores the thermal energy for transfer to ignitable propellant combinations within a torch assembly (46) and thus within the combustion chamber.
