Pulstar be1i Iridium Pulse Spark Plug

 

Pulsed power technology is the science of storing power for a relatively long period of time and then discharging the stored power in an instantaneous pulse of energy. Installing pulsed power technology in a performance auto part helps to increase horsepower (while being driven aggressively) and also helps to improve gas mileage during normal driving. A simple way to think about pulsed power technology is to think of Pulstar's Pulse Plugs being the flash on a camera, whereas spark plugs are more like a flashlight. A camera flash is exponentially brighter than a flashlight even though they both may use the same battery. The spark comparison image to the right demonstrates the size brightness of a spark plug vs. a pulse plug. Here it is easy to see how much more energy is accumulated and dispersed to be used by your engine, which results in improved ignition velocity.

Ignition velocity refers to the growth of the combustion flame front, the speed of which determines the amount of energy released from the fuel. The greater the amount of ignition energy, the larger the spark. The larger the spark, the more efficiently your engine can operate to produce horsepower or, inversely, better fuel economy.

Pulstar plugs are the first real breakthrough in spark plug technology in over 120 years. They look and fit like spark plugs but contain an integrated electrical device called a capacitor. The capacitor peaks the energy of the spark plug in much the same way that a camera flash intensifies light. Instead of just 50 watts of peak power typical of all other spark plugs, Pulstar plugs generate up to 1 million watts of ignition power. The resulting robust spark ignites fuel more efficiently liberating more torque from the engine. Independent testing has validated torque gains of up to 12 % with improvement in throttle response, and reduced CO2.
