When the ball falls between the pillars of the apparatus, a high voltage spark is produced, and a spark will jump from the wire through the ball, and then go to the pillar. When this mechims takes place, a mark is left on the waxed tape ( which is ... located in between the pillars) and indicates the location where the ball is located when the spark jumps. Therefore the spark will jump 25 times in a second, since the frequency of the apparatus is set to 25 Hz. So therefore the ball's position will b...

... the intake, compression, power and exhaust" (Power-co.net 2004). Unlike normal gasoline engines diesel motors do not have spark plugs to ignite their fuel. A gasoline engine intakes a mixture of gas and air, compresses it and ignites the mixture with a spark. A diesel engine takes in just air, compresses it and then injects fuel into the compressed air. The heat of the ... the fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber. As the fuel is injected, the compressed air lights the fuel.
