Micro-Ignitor For A Combustion System

摘要

The micro-ignitor of the preferred embodiment includes a first electrode having a body shaped as an elongated tube and a tip that extends from the body; a second electrode having a body located substantially within and extending at least a length of the body of the first electrode and a tip that extends toward and is spaced from the tip of the first electrode; and an electrical insulator to electrically insulate between the body of the first electrode and the body of the second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode cooperate to carry an electrical charge and to produce an ignition spark between the tip of the first electrode and the tip of the second electrode. Although the micro-ignitor can be incorporated into any suitable combustion system, the micro-ignitor is preferably incorporated into a micro combustion engine with a swing arm.
