NO<sub>x</sub> reduction for natural gas engines with increased ignition energy and plasma jet ignitors
Five plasma jet ignitor designs were tested on a Waukesha ASTM-CFR engine fueled with natural gas. The pollutant emissions, fuel and air flow rates and dynamic cylinder pressure were measured for the full range of Air/Fuel ratios. From these measurements the indicated power and specific fuel …

Three Dimensional Passive Integrated Electronic Ballast for Low Wattage HID Lamps
… the negative VI characteristics. A so-called ignitor is also needed to provide high voltage to initiate the gas discharge. Stringent input harmonic current limits, such as the IEC 61000-3-2 Class C standard, are set for lighting applications. It is well-known that high-frequency electronic …

Uncooled choked plasma torch for ignition and flameholding in supersonic combustion
… plasma torch was designed to be used as an ignitor and flameholder in supersonic combustion. The anode and cathode were made of two-percent thoriated tungsten, and no cooling system was required. Sonic flow through the nozzle was obtained by using a small throat diameter (0.813 mm). The …

The development and operating characteristics of an improved plasma torch for supersonic combustion applications
… the VPI plasma torch, which has been used as an ignitor and flameholder in supersonic combustion studies, has been modified in order to decrease the electrode wear and to increase stability. The plasma torch can be used as a source of hydrogen or nitrogen radicals which initiate and stabilize …

Operation of a High-Pressure Uncooled Plasma Torch with Hydrocarbon Feedstocks
The main scope of this project was to determine if a plasma torch could operate on pure hydrocarbon feedstocks and, if so, to catalogue the torch operational characteristics. The future goal of the project is to design a plasma torch for supersonic combustion applications that operates off of the …
