- stray plasma coil From the non-equilibrium plasmas achieved by means of the coil, which may also be referred to as a stray plasma coil, results in an increased concentration of activated molecules, atoms and ionized radicals. Also associated with this is a high concentration of secondary radicals which provide increased volumetric increased presence of radicals in the fuel mixture and also achieve reliable ignition of lean fuel mixtures.
- the center electrode is associated with at least two coils directed radially outward with their axes, the additional effect is produced that molecular orientation of the fuels takes place, which changes the conductivity and ignites the various gases at several locations in the combustion chamber.
- the alignment can be influenced and various effects arise.
- the non-equilibrium plasmas achieved by means of the coils result in an increased concentration of activated molecules, atoms and ionized radicals. This is also associated with a high concentration of secondary radicals, which ensure an increased volumetric expanded presence of radicals in the mixture and also achieve reliable ignition of lean mixtures.

Abstract
Le but de l'invention est d'augmenter le rendement lors de l'allumage par plasma de mélanges contenant un combustible, en particulier dans des turbines et des moteurs à combustion interne, en soumettant des particules ou un plasma à l'influence d'un champ magnétique. A cet effet, on crée au moins un champ magnétique dans la zone de la chambre d'allumage pendant chaque processus d'allumage afin d'entraîner une augmentation de volume d'un plasma généré par une étincelle d'allumage, en faisant appel à une bougie d'allumage munie d'une électrode centrale (2) et d'au moins une bobine (3) en matériau électroconducteur, qui est raccordée à la masse par une de ses extrémités et dont l'autre extrémité formant un contact d'allumage faisant office d'électrode de masse se situe à une distance de l'électrode centrale qui permet de faire jaillir une étincelle d'allumage.
