Capacitor discharge ignition pressure inside the cylinder. 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
Ignition Park campus. Innovation Park at Notre Dame facilitates commercialization of many forms of research, by convening innovators throughout the entire Notre Dame community and beyond. Companies formed at Innovation Park may choose to expand their operations at Ignition Park, and by doing so, they'll continue to receive support services and other benefits from being part of the same state-certified technology park. Ignition Park sits on the grounds of the former Studebaker plant. It will concentrate on high-potential technologies and ventures, as well as the commercialization of nanotechnology concepts inspired by MIND.
