TLDR
In an ignition electrode arrangement for a cylinder in an internal combustion engine, for example an Otto engine, a cylinder head (3 ) bears a first electrode (7 ) and a second electrode (8 ) which interact with one another as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
In an ignition electrode arrangement for a cylinder in an internal combustion engine, for example an Otto engine, a cylinder head ( 3 ) bears a first electrode ( 7 ) and a second electrode ( 8 ) which interact with one another At least the first electrode ( 7 ) is arranged on an ignition means ( 6 ) fastened in the cylinder head According to the invention, the second electrode ( 8 ) is movable relative to the cylinder head ( 3 ) and the first electrode ( 7 ) in order to make it possible to change the spark gap The second electrode ( 8 ) can be mounted on the cylinder head ( 3 ) itself or on the ignition device ( 6 ) The size of the spark gap is controlled during operation by the ignition system of the engineread more

Injector-igniters with variable gap electrode
TL;DR: In this paper, the variable gap electrodes are employed to increase the gap between the reed electrode and the housing. But the valve head includes a magnet, such as a permanent magnet, wherein the magnet is operative to move the reing electrode toward the electrode cage when the valve-head opens, thereby increasing the gap.

Ignition process for fuel-air mixture involves increasing electrode gap as engine temperature rises up to boundary temperature and decreasing it thereafter
TL;DR: The ignition process is for an engine cylinder with a spark plug having at least one pair of electrodes using one as a measuring electrode as discussed by the authors, and the electrode gap depends on engine temperature, increasing as the engine temperature rises to a boundary temperature.

Variable arc gap plasma igniter element
TL;DR: A variable arc gap plasma igniter element (32) includes electrodes(40, 54) moveable relative to each other as discussed by the authors, and the electrodes are set to define a smaller air gap to initiate a plasma arc and later extended to obtain longer plasma arc.

Ignition source adapted for positioning within a combustion chamber
James C. Warren,Dennis K. Scheer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an ignition source for initiating combustion is provided, which includes an electrical delivery conductor mounted in a delivery conductor mounting structure and an electrical ground conductor mounted on a ground conductor and extended from the ground conductor to a point proximate the delivery conductor to define an ignition spark gap.

Gasoline internal combustion engine
TL;DR: In this paper, a gasoline internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection is presented, where a mass electrode is disposed on the piston so as to project upwardly into the combustion chamber and is movable with the piston toward and from the spark plug center electrode.
Patent
Contact-breaking spark plug
TL;DR: In this paper, the earth pole was fixed or adjusted from the outside during operation in the internal space of the piston, and the same adjusting and fixing activity can also take place with the positive pole.
