If you are one of those guys that loves to get
you hands dirty working on your plane engine then Smart Plugs
will probably rob you of some of the
quality time you now
spend working on it. Smart Plugs is a very innovative concept
that helps eliminate your distributor, coils, points, ignition
leads, and spark plug caps, with no modification to your
engine.It also eliminates electrical noise, has no high
voltage, is non fouling, with a faster cleaner burn, is
moisture insensitive, has exceptional high altitude
capabilities and cold starts an engine better than a standard
spark plug.
According to Smart Plug designer Mark A Cherry "without any
moving parts the Smart Plug knows exactly when to fire" "plus
it gives you increased engine power, less emissions, and more
fuel efficency."
The system was on display and flying in a highly modified
Skyraider. The builder and owner was quite happy with the
installation and indicated that on first installation he had
to increase the pitch of this propeller because of an increase
of some 400 rpm.
Currently the unit requires some battery power source to
start the ignition process, but once the engine is fired the
battery power is no longer needed. Life expectancy of the
units is 500 hours, at which time replacement of the center
section will be required.
