The invention of Spark Plugs
Spark Plugs may also be used in other applications such as furnaces where a combustible mixture should be ignited. In this case, they are sometimes referred to as flame igniters. This component is a crucial one in every engine as a starter of chain reaction. The history begins on its early patents for spark plugs included those by Nikola Tesla (in U.S. Patent 609,250 for an ignition timing system, 1898), Frederick Richard Simms (GB 24859/1898, 1898) and Robert Bosch (GB 26907/1898).
However, only the invention of the first commercially viable high-voltage spark plug as part of a magneto-based ignition system by Robert Bosch’s engineer Gottlob Honold in 1902 made possible the development of the internal combustion engine. The variety of the brand of Spark Plugs is available at www.jegs.com/v/NGK-Spark-Plugs/741.
The subsequent manufacturing improvements of the early Spark Plugs can also be credited to Albert Champion, the Lodge brothers, sons of Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, who developed and manufactured their father’s idea and also Kenelm Lee Guinness, of the Guinness brewing family, who developed the KLG brand. Many brand now become famous of the designs and also improvements, one of them known with a brand name NGK. To get more info about it, you better go online and browse for it.
