3rd Laser Ignition Conference at USA! T3A.1 The First Laser Ignition Engine Experiment (c.a. 1976)

J. D. Dale and P. R. SmyUniversity of Alberta, Canada

Abstract: The first use of a focused laser beam acting as the ignition source for an I.C. engine is described.Experimental results show faster combustion, higher efficiency and extended A/F operation compared with a conventional ignition system.

! 1J, 50ns, 10Hz, 14ft. long CO2laser

! 1.5 kW of electrical power

Ref. SAE Paper 780329, “Laser Ignited Internal Combustion Engine – an Experimental Study”, Trans. SAE, 1978, pp 1539-1548

! Much faster combustion! More engine power and better

thermal efficiency! Higher NO (higher cylinder

temp. by faster combustion)! Require E.G.R.
