1. I I the I.nisberium
fuer hltsohinsnbau Department 1W 18, Pirna, (potential Luftfahrt 14nisterium), is 25X1
considering a new researrh project for building an ultrasonic ignition system
for piston rings.
2e The project is to develop a cheap ultrasonic generator to activate a quarts set
in the wall of an engine cylinder which will ignite the gasoline-air mixture
in the cylinder. ThiA ,vetem would replace the normal ignition system using
sDsrlting plugs and, by J1 re 1,ffioisnt burning, would make it posedble to use
lower octane fuels in piston engines.
