Not quite. Bradbury’s title refers to the auto-ignition point of paper—the temperature at which it will catch fire without being exposed to an external flame. In truth, there’s no ...

Now Torrance, California, startup Transient Plasma Systems is proposing a low-temperature plasma ignition system that it claims can replace the spark plug. Here's how traditional spark plugs work ...

Low ignition temperature desired "A large part of the pollutant emissions from an engine are generated immediately after start-up, while the catalytic converter is still cold," explains Prof.

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

The activity of biological organisms within the material generates heat that is confined by the materials themselves until the ignition temperature is reached and ignition occurs. Slow oxidation ...

The ember’s ignition point depends on a variety of factors, including the type of wood, the temperature and the humidity. Experiments often yield ignition temperatures in the range of 650-800 degrees ...

Without getting into too much detail, gasoline engines, which typically run cooler as a result of a lower fuel-mixture ignition temperature use spark plugs to ignite the fuel/air mix that has been ...
