A windings road:It all starts with the concepts of inductance and electromagnetism. Inside an ignition coil there are two sets of wire windings (aka coils, that's why it's called a "coil," get it?).

American scientists have announced what they have called a major breakthrough in a long-elusive goal of creating energy from nuclear fusion. The U.S. Department of Energy said on Dec. 13, 2022, that ...

If you’re driving a car that uses a physical key and it seems to be stuck in the ignition, the first thing to do is make sure your car’s in park—it won’t come out if you’re still in drive. If that’s ...

Ignition timing is easily the single most important tuning adjustment on an internal combustion engine and yet the concept of ignition curves continues to be elusive for many enthusiasts. Yet all it ...

A battery in a traditional car cannot directly create engine spark. It’s only rated at 12 volts, after all, so it needs a little help boosting the signal to the spark plugs. To make that happen, a car ...
