Magnets put on a spark cable won't do anything. Splitfire image is not a magnet. That is FERRITE.

Spark plugs cable currents are not straight flow current as in your torchlight. It conducts via the surface of conductor, and not through the conductor, because of the high frequency of sparking. Since it is high frequency, magnets wont do anything to it. However, ferrites material will. But, what is purpose of ferrite? Ferrite is also called Magic Beads back then. Because it can magically suppress high frequency noises. So, spark plug cable currents are of high frequency. So if you put ferrite on a spark plug cable, it will only suppress/reduce the energy of the sparking. You want your engine misfires? Go ahead.

I noticed someone mentioned Stromberg. Stromberg is totally different concept. What Stromberg does is kinda convert your sparking in ur engine into somewhat similar but not exactly as a Twinspark engine. It prolongs the sparking at each frequency, so that more unburned air/fuel mixture will be burned before the exhaust cycle of the engine.

Burning more unburnt fuel? AFAIK, it give you more improper ignition timing tolerence and longer spark duration. What burns the fuel is not a the electrical spark. It's the product of the spark.

I dono la bro. My guess only. Coz i read about the Twinspark. And read about stromberg also that it convert a single sparking to something like a ringing resonance sparking.. of some sort, hence prolonging it.

Ya la... i did put it is "my 2 sen" down there at my post. meaning it is what i understanding from what i read/encounter etc. I might be wrong also. I nvr ask u to believe me 100% mah. This is supposed to be discussion no? And what drex said also i not so understand.. what is the difference of "electrical spark" and "product of the spark" ?

Think what Drex means about " product of the sparks " is the quality of the sparks (how powerful or sharp is the sparks produced and the constant rate flow of the sparks) . Correct me if I'm wrong . smile_cool.gif

Electricity can't be seen. But the product of electrons reacting with matters can be seen.

A spark, or an arc, is the discharging product of the reaction. In addition to light and heat, ions and radicals are produced.

Instead of what many may believe, that the heat ignites the air/fuel mixture, it's actually the reaction of the free radicals and ions that initiated the oxidation of the fuel, creating a flame front, and the subsequent chain reaction that propagates throughout the combustion chamber.

Errmm.. that would be.. "the spark ignited the fuel".
