  • Fuel Efficiency > Spark Plugs > Pulse plugs boost horsepower, torque and fuel economy - PulStar pulse plugs look and fit like traditional spark plugs, but are exponentially more powerful. Spark plugs discharge only 40 watts of power while PulStar discharges 1 million watts! This high power pulse discharge ignites the compressed air/fuel mixture in the cylinder more precisely and completely, producing up to 12% more torque and 20% better fuel economy.
    • Jerry Wills Testimonial on Pulstar Plugs - Driving 24,000 miles in a 1999 Chevy K1500 Suburban since August 29th, 2007, Jerry Wills saw his mileage increased by around 40%, going from 10-11 MPG without the plugs to an average of 15+ mpg with the plugs, saving him more than $2,500.

  • SmartPlug (http://www.smartplugs.com/about.htm) is a self-contained ignition system that may be retrofitted to existing spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines. The SmartPlug consists of a prechamber containing a catalytic heating element. The flame torch covers the entire combustion chamber.
  • Firestorm Performance Products (http://www.firestormperformanceproducts.com/) - The revolutionary design of FireStorm spark plugs creates an electric plasma that fills the entire combustion chamber like a firestorm. The Firestorm Spark Plug - Gain: More horsepower; 44-50% increase in mpg; Dramatic decrease in emissions. Eliminate: Smog pump; Catalytic converter; Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems; Misfire/hesitation/detonation/stutter and stumble. The bad news is that you can't buy a set of FireStorm spark plugs anywhere right now. Another site with info is Nexus (http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/Firestorm.html). See United States Patent 5,936,332 (http://www.angelfire.com/ak5/energy21/sparkplug.htm) Krupa,et al. August 10, 1999. See also Robert Krupa (http://www.whatthebleep.com/herald3/issue3-articles-2.shtml), CEO of Century Development International, inventor of the FireStorm sparkplug. Firestorm Spark Plug Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abwXApkLhbc). Archived Robert Stanley (http://web.archive.org/web/20051217132704/http://www.robertstanley.biz/firestorm.htm) interview.
    • Flame Ignition by Transient Plasma Discharge (http://pulsedpower.usc.edu/newpage/combustion/pulsedignition.shtml) - Transient plasma discharge can readily ignite flame at many points (tens to hundreds) simultaneously. Conventional spark ignition has only one discharge channel. Multi-site ignition can greatly increase the burning rate and decrease heat loss to the chamber walls, boosting thermal efficiency and facilitating lean fuel burning.
  • The Halo Plug (http://www.haloplug.com) (Spark plugs; haloplug.com) [U.S. Patent 5,280,214 (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnumber=5,280,214) (G.patent (http://www.google.com/patents?q=5,280,214); PDF (http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=5,280,214)) and U.S. Patent 5,430,346 (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnumber=5,430,346) (G.patent (http://www.google.com/patents?q=5,430,346); PDF (http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=5,430,346))]
  • Sonic Spark Plugs (http://www.enginebrain.com/) - They look like normal spark plugs, but they have a powerful ultrasound generator in the tip. This shatters gasoline mist microseconds before it burns, energizing the fuel droplets before combustion. Your car, truck or motorcycle will have more power and get better mileage because combustion is dramatically improved. http://www.supersonicspark.com/
  • Henry Ramsey, Appropriate Technology: Get It While It's Hot (http://fueleconomytips.com/content/view/31/2/). fueleconomytips.com, For The Home. 11 July 2006. (Home Brew spark plug mod from fueleconomytips.com)
  • NGK V-Power Spark Plugs (http://ngksparkplugs.com/products/cars_trucks_suvs/vpower.asp?nav=11200&country=US) - Advanced V-groove center electrode provides optimum performance and fuel efficiency. High amp, low resistance for the best spark.
  • LSG BRISK (http://www.lsgbrisk.com/) - Halo™ Spark Plugs have been tested by City and Police Fleets (http://www.pr.com/press-release/9815) and proven to increase fuel economy by up to 10%, reduce harmful emissions by up to 20%, increase horsepower and torque by up to 5%, and optimize engine performance.
  • Spark Plug Reviews (http://www.miata.net/products/perform/index.html) for Halo (http://www.haloplug.com/), Splitfire (http://www.splitfire.com/), NGK and Bosch Platinum +4
  • Torque Master Spark Plugs (http://www.extremespark.com/index.html) claim to be the only plug capable of increasing engine performance. Torque Master in Europe (http://www.torquemaster.it/main1uk.htm) - More horsepower. Better economy.
  • Side Gapping Spark Plugs (http://performanceunlimited.com/documents/plugsidegapping.html) - Improve spark with standard plugs instead of paying triple for Split-Fire® type plugs
  • E3 Spark Plugs (http://www.e3sparkplugs.com/) - with DiamondFIRE technology increases the amount of combustion pressure created during each power stroke of an engine, which results in a marked increase in power output, fuel economy, and reduced emissions in all gasoline engines.
  • Nology Silver™ (http://www.nology.com/silver.html) - STOP...playing around with spark plugs that feature Iridium electrodes, Platinum electrodes, Copper electrodes, fine wire electrodes, split electrodes, ring electrodes or multiple electrodes and get serious with silver electrodes! Silver is the best electrical and thermal conductor of any metal.
  • DirectHits (http://www.directhits.com/) capacitors fit between the spark plug (non-resistor type) and ignition wire to amplify the spark. Most spark plugs put out about .02 to.06 amps of peak current (limited by coil, cable and plug resistance) in the spark for a few hundred microseconds. DirectHits boost the output of the spark plug to some 500 amps for a few nanoseconds. The larger initial plasma more readily starts the burn of the fuel in the cylinder, resulting in more power and better fuel economy. Able to ignite lean air/fuel mixtures. The ultra-short spark duration does not impose excessive wear on the plugs.
  • Cryogenicaly treated spark plugs (http://www.lecryo.com/purepower.html) improved performance and reduced emissions

Research & Development

  • Laser Spark Plug for Lean Burn Gas Engines (http://www.greencarcongress.com/2008/01/netl-researcher.html) - NETL (http://www.netl.doe.gov/newsroom/netlog/jan2008/netlog_dec07.html) demonstrated the latest version of their laser spark plug designed for lean burn gas (natural gas and hythane) reciprocating engines. Leaner air-fuel conditions deliver higher engine efficiency and lower emissions, but require increased spark energy. In laser-spark ignition, high-energy photons are focused to create a plasma breakdown. (Green Car Congress; Jan. 11, 2008)
