So I was at the auto parts store today picking up some new tools, and as I was standing at the counter I noticed a layout advertisement for a newly designed spark plug called a "pulse plug." Basically its the same concept as a spark plug, only with an added internal capacitor to create a spark 10 times more powerful than your average plug. It's supposed to burn feul more efficiently, resulting in increased mileage, HP and torque.
I was just curious if anybody's heard of and/or using them, and if it actually holds up to the claims? I'm not specifically talking about a 914 either, because I wouldn't mind using them in my DD if it's really true. Here's the website I found on them: http://www.pulstarplug.com Thoughts? |

This is getting fun.
I understand how a capacitor works. But you canNOT get power OUT of a capacitor until you first put it IN. So these plugs are somehow introducing MORE power into the combustion chamber than a regular plug, and they are doing that by storing up excess power first? From where again? I haven't seen an answer that computes yet. edit: Ok, I see this is getting redundant. Need to read all the posts later. |
