• How PlasmaCore works...

    PiasmaCore is an innovative ignition technology developed in a US Department of Energy lab to generate more horsepower, more torque, and quicker throttle response. Our products feature an embeded capacitor to store energy and amplify discharge. This patented design results in a high-intensity electrical pulse that saturates the fuel with combustion-enhancing plasma, ensuring instant ignition and a rapid, complete burn.

  • THROTTLE RESPONSE

    Instant ignition and a more complete burn means your vehicle responds quickly. You’ll really feel the difference when pulling away from a stop.

  • TORQUE

    Pulstar’s rapid burn creates higher peak pressure on the piston; applying more torque on the crank shaft, resulting in more power to your wheels.

  • HORSEPOWER

    Burning more fuel during the power stroke means you get the most power from your fuel. Laboratory and dyno testing has repeatedly shown gains in horsepower.

  • FUEL ECONOMY

    Pulstar burns fuel efficiently, ensuring fuel isn’t wasted. Whether you see an improvement in power, fuel economy, or both depends on how you drive.

  • Pulstar Spark Plugs with PlasmaCore: A Technical Overview

    Pulstar spark plugs with PlasmaCore represent a significant advancement in ignition technology. By incorporating a capacitive circuit into the profile of a conventional plug, Pulstar amplifies the spark discharge, creating a highly reactive plasma that increases combustion power and improves efficiency.

    Conventional Spark Plug Operation

    In a traditional spark plug, a high voltage is generated by the ignition coil and transmitted to the spark plug electrodes. When the voltage reaches a critical level, a spark discharges across the gap between the electrodes, igniting the air-fuel mixture.

    Pulstar's Capacitive Circuit

    Pulstar's innovative design includes an embeded capacitor positioned in parallel to the spark plug gap. As the voltage from the ignition coil rises, the capacitor charges, storing electrical energy.

    Amplified Discharge

    When the spark discharges, the stored energy in the capacitor is released as well, significantly amplifying the current flow. This surge of current results in a dramatically more powerful spark event.

    Plasma Formation and Combustion Enhancement

    The intensity of the electrical discharge creates a plasma state within the air-fuel mixture. Plasma is a highly energized state of matter characterized by the presence of a large number of charged particles (ions and electrons). This high energy plasma accelerates the combustion process, leading to more precise and reliable ignition, even under challenging conditions. It also allows for more complete combustion to increase engine power and performance. Eliminating unburned fuel means more miles per gallon and fewer emissions. Precise and consistent timing makes the engine run more smoothly and improves overall stability.
