Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An ignition system for hydrocarbon fuels based on a new approach to ignition in which the principle of "flame discharge ignition" is introduced to couple ignition energy to the initial flame front plasma (32) to convert the flame front (31) into an ignition discharge in which electrical energy is efficiently coupled to the propagating flame front, either as a "pulsing flame discharge ignition" system in which the flame front becomes part of the spark discharge circuit, or an "enhanced conventional discharge ignition" in which very high electric fields are "naturally" maintained at the flame front. Electrical, geometrical spark, and, hydrocarbon flame front plasma discharge properties are …
