Wood gasifiers can power either spark ignition engines, where 100 % of the normal petrol can be replaced with little change to the carburation, or in a diesel engine, feeding the gas into the air inlet that is modified to have a throttle valve, if it didn't have it already.

In 1999 he landed a non-speaking role in 200 Cigarettes, and went on to act in both Ethan Hawke's directorial debut Chelsea Walls and the movie Just One Time, where as secondary characters one critic thought that he and Jennifer Esposito provided what little " comic spark " existed in the film.

Since methanol vapor is heavier than air, it will linger close to the ground or in a pit unless there is good ventilation, and if the concentration of methanol is above 6. 7 % in air it can be lit by a spark and will explode above 54 F / 12 C. Once ablaze, an undiluted methanol fire gives off very little visible light, making it potentially very hard to see the fire or even estimate its size in bright daylight, although in the vast majority of cases, existing pollutants or flammables in the fire ( such as tires or asphalt ) will color and enhance the visibility of the fire.

Under laboratory conditions as little as 1 millijoule is required in each spark, but practical coils must deliver much more energy than this to allow for higher pressure, rich or lean mixtures, losses in ignition wiring, and plug fouling and leakage.

Exhaust from a spark ignition engine consists of the following: nitrogen 70 to 75 % ( by volume ), water vapor 10 to 12 %, carbon dioxide 10 to 13. 5 %, hydrogen 0. 5 to 2 %, oxygen 0. 2 to 2 %, carbon monoxide: 0. 1 to 6 %, unburnt hydrocarbons and partial oxidation products ( e. g. aldehydes ) 0. 5 to 1 %, nitrogen monoxide 0. 01 to 0. 4 %, nitrous oxide < 100 ppm, sulfur dioxide 15 to 60 ppm, traces of other compounds such as fuel additives and lubricants, also halogen and metallic compounds, and other particles.

The mixture in this cylinder is ignited by the spark plug, forcing that piston down, resulting in a near instantaneous engine start time of 0. 35 seconds.

In 2009 only, the numbers ending in 0 lit up in red and a spark surrounded the numbers.

calculated by subtracting the carbon price per tonne ( multiplied by 0. 411 ) from the ‘ dirty ’ spark spread, i. e. Clean Spark Spread = Spark Spread

Therefore the Clean Dark Spread is calculated by subtracting the carbon price ( multiplied by 0. 971 ) from the ‘ dirty ’ spark spread, i. e. Clean Dark Spread =

Thus, since UK spark spreads were in the range of 4 – 9 £/ MWh – on average £ 6. 5 / MWh, or 0. 65 p / kWh, we can asses the likely cost of relegating existing power stations to a standby role for a large penetration of renewables as being around 0. 65 p / kWh.

The compression ratio was raised from 6. 6: 1 to 7. 0: 1, the " turbulator " pistons were redesigned, smaller spark plugs were substituted for the previous type and “ Compound Carburetion ” was introduced.

There is no room for a centrally positioned spark plug due to the 2-valve design which uses a 44 mm diameter inlet valve on the 2. 0 engine.

The TS 16V engines, 1. 6, 1. 8 and 2. 0, all use a 10 mm diameter and a 14 mm diameter long life platinum electrode spark plug per cylinder.

It satisfied the European Union EU3 emissions standard, and was managed by a Bosch Motronic ME 7. 0 electronic engine control unit ( ECU ) with manifold-sited sequential fuel injection, mapped direct ignition with eight individual spark coils, Bosch longlife spark plugs, four heated lambda sensors and two catalytic converters, cylinder-selective knock control and a Bosch " E-Gas " drive by wire throttle.

It consists of fragmentary personal revelations, such as `` The Spark '': `` There is a spark dwells deep within my soul.

Shakespeare did not usually invent the incidents in his plays, but borrowed them from old stories, ballads, and plays, wove them together, and then breathed into them his spark of life.

The issue was sufficiently potent in 1935 to spark secession from the American Federation of Labor of its industrial union members.

No matter how devoted a man was, no matter how fully he gave his life to the Lord, he could never extinguish that one spark of pride that gave him definition as an individual.

To measure the volume of one of the combustion chambers in the cylinder head, install the valves and spark plug in the chamber and support the head so that its gasket surface is level.

The fact is that removing and leaving out a thermostat from any water cooled vehicle, will greatly increase the fuel consumption, reduce power and contribute to spark plug fouling due to an accumulation of excessive carbon deposits on the insulators.

The pro-Western government, which the United States had helped in a revolt against the Souvanna Phouma `` neutralist '' government, never did appear to spark much fighting spirit in the Royal Lao Army.

He devised experiments such as the ignition of methane by an electric spark in a closed vessel.

The extended summer dryness often creates conditions that spark forest fires, from dry-lightning or man-made causes.

However, Kerr stated that while there was a spark of attraction, nothing ever happened.

However, since piston-engined aircraft rely upon magnetos to provide spark to their cylinders rather than a battery powered ignition coil system, this theory is not strongly convincing.

There are open slots in the side of the tube bottom to admit air into the stream via the venturi effect, and the gas burns at the top of the tube once ignited by a flame or spark.

The most common methods of lighting the burner are using a match or a spark lighter.

In 1989, the death of former general secretary Hu Yaobang helped to spark the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, during which students and others campaigned for several months, speaking out against corruption and in favour of greater political reform, including democratic rights and freedom of speech.

According to biographer Ray Spangenburg, these early years as Sagan tried to understand the mysteries of the planets, became a " driving force in his life, a continual spark to his intellect, and a quest that would never be forgotten.

Measuring the compression pressure of an engine, with a pressure gauge connected to the spark plug opening, gives an indication of the engine's state and quality.

If a compression test does give a low figure, and it has been determined it is not due to intake valve closure / camshaft characteristics, then one can differentiate between the cause being valve / seat seal issues and ring seal by squirting engine oil into the spark plug orifice, in a quantity sufficient to disperse across the piston crown and the circumference of the top ring land, and thereby effect the mentioned seal.

( E ) exhaust camshaft, ( I ) intake camshaft, ( S ) spark plug, ( V ) poppet valve | valve s, ( P ) piston, ( R ) connecting rod, ( C ) crankshaft, ( W ) water jacket for coolant flow.
