Product Description
-------------------
Pulstar Spark Plugs use innovative plasma-assisted combustion
technology to increase horsepower and torque.
Plasma-assisted combustion is already used to improve engine
performance in race cars, but requires complex control systems
and costs nearly $2,000 per cylinder. Pulstar Spark Plugs,
manufactured by Enerpulse Technologies, brings plasma-assisted
combustion to consumers with a simple spark plug upgrade. Pulstar
uses a patented internal capacitor, developed with the help of a
US DoE laboratory, to create a high-intensity electrical pulse
that ionizes the air-fuel mixture and saturates it with
combustion-enhancing plasma. With its plasma-assisted combustion,
Pulstar ignites fuel instantly and burns it rapidly; gaining up
to 7 horsepower, 9 ft.-lbs. of torque ... and, delivering wicked
throttle response.

Pulstar Iridium Pulse 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 capacitor,
which focuses the energy of the plug in much the same way that a
camera flash intensifies light. The result is peak electrical
energy delivered to the fuel mixture that is far beyond that
typical of conventional spark plugs, allowing for more complete
combustion that in turn produces not only better fuel efficiency,
but also increased torque and horsepower. .caption { font-family:

. Generate More Power Using Less Fuel
All oline engines require ignition of the fuel mixture
compressed within them to generate the energy needed to power a
vehicle. Historically, conventional spark plugs have provided
this, but with both the needs of performance minded drivers and
fuel prices on the rise, there must be an alternative. Today
drivers can dispense with outdated spark plug technology and step
into the modern era with Pulstar Pulse Plugs.
Pulstar Pulse Plugs may look similar to spark plugs on the
outside, but inside the technological advances of Pulstar are
evident. Pulstar pulse plugs feature a unique built-in
capacitor-based circuit that captures energy normally wasted by
spark plugs. This energy is released in an amazingly powerful and
quick (two nanosecond) high-energy pulse, which generates a spark
with 20,000 times greater energy than any spark plug. Because
this energy is stored in the built-in capacitor of the pulse
plug, rather than routed through the plug as with spark plugs,
ignition is available at the exact moment needed, resulting in
more efficient and cleaner combustion of the fuel mixture, as
much as a 10% increase in cylinder pressure, improved fuel
efficiency and a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque.
Pulsed Power Technology
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 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 a of energy
released from the fuel. The greater the a 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.
