  4. Hey all. New member ere. Little help please??

    Sure the pressure can be reduced, but it is almost impossible to calculate the absolute perfect pressure that will cause the plug to start glowing.

    I am using more powerful fuel for big gains in performance. It's a little project.

    I was hoping there'd be a more simpler electronic method to limit the heating effect of the nickel coil.

    Does metal emitting InfraRed respond to any type of resonance/input/etc??

    Hi sinn

    What kind of engine is this? A stationary engine? A truck engine? Any other
    kind of engine? Can this coils be removed in a simple way(without dismantling
    the engine)? Are they electrically insulated? Is it glow plugs, found in some
    diesel engines? Questions are many, since you didn't supply us with enough
    information in the beginning, before you can get an answer.

    Hey,
    apologies for not going into much detail.
    Yes it is a glow engine. The principles of the glow engine is as follows:
    "as the piston reaches the top of the cyclinder, the huge increase in pressures makes the nickel wire glow red hot. This glowing nickel wire ignites the fuel mixture".
    My problem is that i'm using a very powerful fuel that has a tendency to pre-ignite, in other words, the nickel wire is glowing too soon. I was hoping to discuss a potential method to maybe delay this glowing. Yes you're right, I don't want to totally shut off the glowing effect, since this would shut off the engine. I'd just like to limit it.
    Like I mentioned earlier, the two ends of the nickel wire are free; is there any input that could limit the heating effect?

    Thanks all!

    Hi Ante,

    well the coil must be heating (glowing) since it is igniting the fuel mixture.

    I have checked for potential difference between the two ends, but were're talking very very small voltages (microvolts).

    It's probably a silly question, but if I linked the two ends, wouldn't the wire stop glowing, since energy from the heated wire is being extracted?? I've tried this, but the effects are negligible. Is there a way where I could amplify the effect.

  8. How could I stop a nickel coil from emitting IR?

    Hi,

    first of all, i'd like to say it's been an interesting read of the forum topics.

    I'd like help on something.

    I have a nickel coil, that glows hot due to high pressures within an internal combustion engine. The two ends of the coil aren't linked to anything; the coil only glows because the pressures are so high, and not because of a current induction or anything.

    Since the two ends of the coil are free, is there anyway that I could wire up the coil to something that would limit it's heating under the high pressures?? Would Infra Red emitting nicket respond to any type of frequency of some sort.

    I'd like to be in a position where I could apply some sort of input (within the two ends) and prevent the coil from heating up.

    I hope this doesn't sound too odd  ::) Well it's worth asking  ;D

    Looking forward to any ideas / suggestions. thanks all!!
