Capacitor discharge ignition Capacitor discharge ignition Capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in outboard motors, motorcycles, lawn mowers, chainsaws, small engines, turbine-powered aircraft, and some cars. It was originally developed to overcome the long charging times associated with high inductance coils used in inductive discharge ignition (IDI) systems, making the ignition system more suitable for high engine speeds (for small engines, racing engines and rotary engines). The capacitive-discharge ignition uses capacitor discharge current to the coil to fire the spark plugs. The history of the capacitor discharge ignition system can
Ignition (The Offspring album) in 2005. "Ignition" was released through Epitaph Records on October 16, 1992. Like their self-titled debut album, "Ignition" did not chart on the "Billboard" 200; however, The Offspring began to gather small success in the Southern region of California, mainly the areas of San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, and spent a-year-and-a-half touring relentlessly behind the album. Although no videos were released for "Ignition", "Kick Him When He's Down" was released as an airplay-only single in 1995. "Ignition" was certified Gold on January 22, 1996, nearly two years after the release of "Smash". The album has received generally favorable
