COMBUSTION INITIATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A combustion initiation system includes an initiating device for producing, containing and propell- ing a combustion initiating plasma having an energy density approaching that produced by combustion of the fuel itself, and is suitable for initiating combustion in relatively lean mixtures of various types of fuels. A high voltage power supply delivers electrical energy by a coaxial cable to the initiating device which communi- cates with a fuel mixture in a combustion area such as the combustion chamber of an ordinary internal combus- tion engine. The initiating device includes a capaci- tive portion for storing a large quantity of electrical energy therein derived from the power supply, and an electrode portion integral with the capacitive portion which comprises a pair of concentric, rod shaped elec- trodes for producing a high energy, umbrella shaped plasma discharge, using the inverse pinch technique. Due to the close proximity between the capacitive and elec- trode portions of the initating device, rapid energy transfer from the former to the latter creates high magnetic pressures which transform the discharge into a high energy plasma jet which is delivered well into the combustion area.
