Blue Phoenix Ignition --- What is it and why racers need it!!!

Racers and engine builders typically consider MSD ignition as state of the art. However the basic CDI technology behind MSD is over 40 years old. This blog should help racers answer their questions they have about high energy plasma ignition and understand the benefits and advantages of installing plasma ignition modules from blue phoenix ignition.


Common ignition problems facing racers today:


Racers across all classes currently face a range of problems with low energy output of current ignition systems. For example Top fuel, funny cars and blown alcohol or nitro methane engines frequently suffer from misfires as a result of the flame being put by a weak ignition spark. Misfires cause severe damage to engines resulting in blown head gaskets, hydraulicing cylinders as well as back firing in the case of super chargers. Current Magnetos also create a lot of horse power drag. In bracket racing, circle track, dirt track racing etc maximum horsepower and torque gains are never met because current multi spark ignition systems only fire multiple sparks up to 3000 RPM. Above 3000 RPM all existing racing CDI systems put out a single spark which is sufficient to ignite the fuel however the flame front barely has time to expand and transfer heat before the exhaust cycle starts. This results in a drop in horsepower and torque at higher speeds a competitive disadvantage. All current ignition systems are also extremely inefficient in that they convert less than 10% of the electrical energy input to a high voltage spark that is essentially a thin channel of plasma that is barely visible to the naked eye.

How does the spark amplifier modules from blue phoenix solve the challenges that racers face with regards to current s ignition systems?

Blue Phoenix Ignition has a unique high voltage secondary side spark amplification system that amplifies the high voltage spark generated from a standard racing ignition CDI module or magneto to a high energy plasma spark. The innovative technology behind the spark amplification module is based on Jet Turbine Ignition and Pulsed Plasma thrusters used to power satellites by NASA. . The plasma spark amplification system discharges a pulse of DC current exceeding several hundred amps amplifying the plasma kernel of a standard ignition spark to a very high energy plasma spark that creates a large corona, a highly dense energy filed that completely surrounds the spark plug tip along with a burst of photonic energy. The peak power output is in the megawatts and the RMS or average power output is in the kilowatts. The very high energy plasma kernel that can only be described as a bolt of lightning, is virtually impossible to putout and thus eliminates the problem of dropped cylinders as well as loss of power at higher RPMs or spark blow out in the case of high compression engines. The corona ignites a substantially larger amount of fuel in a single instant initiating a massive flame front that rapidly expands through out the combustion chamber allowing timing to be adjusted toward Top dead center thereby increasing engine efficiency. The energy dense corona generated by the sparkamp module from blue phoenix is powerful enough to ignite water mist.
