Laser Spark Plug, Inc. Does Not Manufacture Laser Spark Plugs Or Any Other Product
Laser Spark Plug, Inc. is a 501 (3) (C) non-profit organization that provides funding, education and support for environment friendly advanced
technology. LSP has identified low emission, fuel efficient
technologies such as laser spark plugs and mix/multi-fuel engines that
have demonstrated significant increases in fuel efficiency (45%) and
decreases in toxic pollutants (100%).
Here’s how the laser spark plug works: A compact megawatt class
laser pulse is focused down through a “self cleaning” sapphire
bulkhead seal window at the top of the piston cylinder [6].This results
in a free space high power spark that is optically positioned in the center
of the injected fuel cloud. Being a free space spark, the ignition is
unencumbered by a spark plug arm and is thereby free to provide a
clean uniform burn wave-front of the fuel cloud resulting in near 100%
complete combustion.
Laser pulses may also be projected and focused by special lens systems to produce multiple sparks simultaneously in the engine combustion chamber for further increases in burn uniformity and efficiency. New core technology has been developed for a new generation of high peak power eye-safe micro-lasers. These rugged mil-spec megawatt class laser devices utilize unique pumping architectures that provide a foundation for compact reliable high power laser devices an order of magnitude lighter, smaller, more efficient and less expensive than the existing state-of-the-art.
Further increases in fuel efficiency may be realized through better aerodynamic designs on cars and trucks. At 55 mph ~ 50% of a typical car’s energy is used to push air out of the way. To be more efficient, our vehicles need to further reduce drag and become more aerodynamic. In aerodynamics, the word drag defines air’s natural tendency to slow things down. It steals your vehicles energy and decreases
your fuel economy.
