What is a pulse plug?What is a pulse plug?
Efficient energy management
Pulsed power technology – accumulating energy over a relatively long period of time and releasing it very quickly thus increasing the instantaneous power. Sandia National Laboratories – leader in pulsed power technology.
Z Machine - 290 trillion watts - 4 billionths of a second, about 80 times the entire world's output of electricity.
A spark plug with integral capacitor that employs intelligent energy management to increase the amount of ignition energy coupled to the fuel charge.

50 Watts
Energy from the coil is stored in the patented capacitor. At the exact moment needed the energy is released in a high energy pulse increasing cylinder pressure by as much as 10% producing more torque.
