  • Spark exciter operational unit
    Patent number: 10590887
    Abstract: A hardware configuration and related control strategy is disclosed that accepts an electric power input typical of space flight systems and converts that energy into a spark pulse train with fixed/predetermined performance metrics for the following system parameters: time to first spark, peak breakdown voltage amplitude, spark repetition rate and energy delivered per spark, which have all been optimally chosen to reliably ignite certain fuel mixtures, which have been proven to be beneficial for use in aerospace applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 19, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2020
    Assignee: Alphaport, Inc.
    Inventors: Anthony J. Miranda, John Heese
  • Spark Exciter Variable Control Unit
    Publication number: 20170335801
    Abstract: A hardware configuration and related variable control strategy is disclosed that accepts an electric power input typical of space flight systems and converts that energy into a spark pulse train with variable performance metrics for the following system parameters: time to first spark, peak breakdown voltage amplitude, spark repetition rate and energy delivered per spark, which have all been optimally chosen to reliably ignite certain fuel mixtures and which have been proven to be beneficial for use in aerospace applications.
