Go Kart Engine Diagnostics: Solid State Ignition Failure Detection
I have had a couple of times where I had some dramatic failures occur on my go kart engines. One time I had a chain snap and the chain made a ferocious clunk and then fell off the go kart. The funny thing is that the engine kept running, and I had to shut it off.
I replaced the chain and ran into a peculiar problem. The engine would not start.
This is where most of us, with NO engine experience just throw up our hands and kick the go kart and go away. Then we throw it in the back of the pickup and bring it over to "Smokin Joes Lawnmower Repair." There we spend about $200 to have the engine fixed.
I am here to tell you forget about going to "Smokin Joes.
First of all a basic understanding of ignition systems is required. (I am assuming that you understand the Otto Cycle or 4 cycle engine theory, so I will dispense with that SnoozeVille explanation)
Ignition systems are basically partial generators. The flywheel has a magnet, and the Magneto has a coil of wire in it.
The theory behind electric current is that when a wire (a simple wire ) is passed through a magnetic field that an electric current is induced into the wire.
And conversely, when a wire is induced with an electric current it gives off a magnetic field.
The Magneto (the device that the spark plug wire comes out of) has a coil of wire in it plus a core of iron to attract or concentrate the magnetic flux lines into the wire.
The wire then gets an instantaneous jump in electricity as the magnetic field in the flywheel passes by it. The sudden increase in electricity is concentrated as high voltage which is released as a spark in the spark plug.
The timing, or the firing of the electricity to the spark plug is regulated by circuitry. This particular circuitry is activated by a small magnetic sensing switch (which looks like a small cylinder of steel tucked in with the coil). When the magnet passes by the magnetic field activates the switch. The switch then releases the coil energy into the spark plug.
The spark plug is nothing more than a glorified jumping bridge for electricity. We all are familiar with this static discharge when we scrub our feet against the floor and the reach out and touch somebody. A spark jumps when we get close, like .125 inches and closer.
The design of the spark plug is to keep the electricity isolated up to the bridge. Once the electricity from behind shoves real hard, it forces the electrons in front to jump. Kind of like getting pushed off of a bridge.
So the white part of the spark plug is non-conductive and an insulator. The metal part is isolated from the rest of the spark plug and only becomes integral when spark completes the circuit or jumps across the gap.
Obviously, sparks cause the right concentration of Oxygen and Combustible gases or even dust, to ignite. Ignition is the excited state of electrons jumping from one molecule to another. This excited state releases heat and light: we call that flame or ionized gas.
Next time we will discuss how to trouble shoot the ignition system so that you do not have to pay Smokin Joes what you just have learned...and will learn.

Movie Review: Crank: High Voltage - What Were They Thinking?
If you are the kind of person that needs to see a movie that is plausible, and based on real life events, then you probably shouldn't see "Crank: High Voltage," starring Jason Statham. However, if you like movies that are completely over the top when it comes to action, dialogue, story lines, and an occasional porn star thrown in for good measure, then this flick is not to be missed.
Our fabulous tale begins with the hero being thrown out of a helicopter. The huge thud he makes on the ground makes the evening news, of course, but not before his body is scooped up and taken away in a van filled with questionable characters. When he wakes up, he is in some horribly dirty hospital, and his heart has been stolen, and some gangster is flicking cigarette ashes into his chest cavity.
He comes to, only to learn his real heart has been swapped out by a fake one. It is revealed that the hero has an extraordinarily robust heart, and is sought after by the leader of a nasty Chinese gang in Southern California. So our hero has to not only find his original heart, but he also has to find somebody to swap it out with the electrical one that has been implanted into him.
There's only one problem. His temporary heart is run by electricity from an external battery that gets destroyed in an accident. So he must continually give himself electrical shocks to keep his temporary heart from giving out on him. This, of course, makes for a fantastic chase across Southern California, as gangsters from all walks of life must be battled.
Throughout the entire quest to find his original heart, he is in constant contact with a buddy of his, who happens to be a skilled open heart surgeon, although we learn he has had his medical license taken away due to some unfortunate accident that happened with an ex girlfriend of his. But nevertheless, we trust that once our hero locates his original heart, his buddy will be able to swap it out with the fake one.
We have the final battle, which includes our hero, two rival gangs, and a gangsters head that is being kept alive in jar. In a desperate attempt to zap his heart, he nearly kills himself through electrocution, and bursts into flames. The shock is tad bit on the strong side, and he promptly bursts into flames. Meanwhile, his accomplice successfully finds his original heart, and his buddy, the disgraced heart surgeon attempts to restore him to health. Will he succeed? The only way to find out is to rent this fantastic DVD, before it's too late.

Taser Fire on Human Bodies?
I was reading this news article about a guy who was covered in Petrol and was hit with a taser and burst into flames, and it made me think back.
Do you remember the game Syphon Filter, where you could use a taser in the game? If you used it long enough on the person, they'd burst into flames. Could this actually happen? If the taser voltage was high enough to cause that high of electrical resistance heating, wouldn't a body melt into a blob of mush well before it burst into flames? I'm not particularly adept in the field of electricity.
Tasers work on two different voltages. The first is a low voltage (around 2000 volts). This supplies the arc you see when you press the trigger... before you press it against the body.
The second is a high volt, in the range of 20,000 volts. This higher voltage is triggered when you make contact with the body.
I know both of these sound like they are insanely high (Especially when you remember the voltage in your house is 110 volts and the shocks from that are pretty intense). While the voltage of a taser is high, the amperage is very low. Voltage is the force, amperage is the amount of electricity flowing. While you have 20,000 volts running through your body causing your muscles to freak out and your nerves to go haywire, there is not a whole lot of electricity traveling through your body. The worst a stun gun can do is to burn a small patch of your skin if it wasn't held right up to your skin and the electricity arced across, but you would not burst into flames or melt into goo.
If you were covered in fuel, then the taser works like a spark plug in your car. That arc that burned your skin in my previous example is now igniting fumes. That is possible.
Duke Energy, Cherokees In Dispute Over Sacred Grounds
It may well be the most sacred spot in North Carolina. The Kituwah mound was bestowed to the Cherokees by the Creator as the birthplace of the Cherokee nation, according to oral tradition.
