| Commentaires : | Magneto: A magneto provides pulses of electrical power to the stark plugs in some petrol-powered internal combustion engines where batteries are not available, most commonly those in 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines used in most small aircraft. In aircraft, typically each cylinder has two spark plugs, each driven by a separate magneto. This arrangement provides redundancy in the event of a failure of one of the magnetos, and two spark plugs burn more efficiently than one.
