There are some new spark plugs on eBay that are double pure tungsten. There are 4 types. The item numbers are 110977075604 , 110977076244 , 110977077075 , 110977077934
We made them out of Champion spark plug bodies. We are making custom plugs for engines or generators. We have a full manual machine shop, including a surface grinder with spin fixtures which is needed to do this job. We also have about 40 years experience in manual machining. We also would like to make custom spark plugs for the public.
Thanks to all

Like this one on ebay Item number 110998808956 3 grounds on it real cool.
That one is cool looking.:D
Isn't it though. What's neat is when you fire a three pronged plug like this, it shoots a jet of plasma straight away from the center electrode towards the combustion chamber. I sure wish I had a high speed camera that could really capture what it looks like. Matt could probably use a frame or two on his eBay page, like a slowed down animated GIF or something. That would be slick. It might help him optimize these dudes too if you could really see what is happening.Quote from Jeff Nading on January 12th, 2013, 08:05 PM That one is cool looking.:D
I think I'd also like to see a new one almost identical to this one, but with a completely flush mount insulator and a tungsten ring around the ground. If you are running plasma sparks, you don't need any heat in the plug to help the ignition, let the plasma do all the work and keep the plug cool as possible. Probably good to have nice rounded edges to minimize any hot spots as well. Maybe even a little Tesla dome on the center electrode.

A little more work than I'd like to put into it, but I'd like to buy a few...

I don't understand what makes a plasma plug different than a regular plug, is it just the amount of power going to it? And why is the jet of plasma shooting straight out from the electrode and not hitting the grounding prongs?
Matt, what is the chance you guys can fabricate a spark plug with the basic of the DPF shown in this video:

I ask because if it is possible, because I see a simple method of converting a standard internal combustion engine into something like a Papp engine using nuclear fusion in the combustion chamber as the true fuel source. The inert gases could simply be recirculated from the exhaust back to the intake so existing engines could run pretty much unmodified. Obviously an engine built from the ground up would be more efficient, but we are talking nuclear fusion here and I would think we could handle a few inefficiencies in the interim. Let me know what you think.
Energy per Time (joules/sec). When you dump around 30 joules in microseconds, it tears the crap out of the plug (electrodes). It literally disintegrates small pieces of the metal from the intense heat. Just imagine an arc welder pulse for every ignition spark and how long a typical factory spark plug would last in those conditions. These plugs Matt is offering use tungsten electrodes which give them the ability to better handle the heat and high amperage generated by the plasma. Keep in mind, nothing I know of is impervious to the kind of energy transfer we are dealing with here.
Why these things shoot a jet of plasma out the way they do...? I don't know. Maybe the Primer Fields videos will help to answer that. All I know is they do work that way, having a setup on my desk that does it. I've tried taking videos of it but it happens so fast the shutter speed just can't catch it reliably. The human eye sure can though and it is impressive, especially the sound and ozone/NOx that comes with it. And with probably less than 10,000 sparks through my Bosch F6DTC test plug, the wear is obvious already.
Ok, makes sense now. So, that would be a good idea to try, D1, if you could make a plug that can handle the joules/sec, it would be a fairly easy conversion. Maybe even possible to use water vapor as a fuel too...Quote from Dog-One on February 1st, 2013, 10:11 AM Energy per Time (joules/sec).

Others are working on a circuit to put in large amounts of current in a very short time, so I think it would be worth while to work on a plug that can handle it. I'm supposed to give Matt a call sometime soon, so I'll see what he has to say.
