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 (The Offspring album) reviews in the years since its initial release, with several reviewers having deemed "Ignition" one of The Offspring's best albums. In October 2011, the album was ranked number two (between Alice in Chains' "Dirt" and Bad Religion's "Generator") on "Guitar World" magazine's top ten list of guitar albums of 1992. On June 17, 2008, Epitaph re-released "Ignition" (along with "Smash") in remastered form. This reissue was released on the same day as then-current album "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace". The Offspring toured for a-year-and-a-half to promote "Ignition". Their audience continued to hone, supporting such bands as Youth Brigade, The
