Liverpool university and Ford have come up with a new technology to introduce laser instead of normal spark plugs to start up the cars. Using laser in ignition system is much easier to ignite the fuel then the normal spark plug. This technology is more reliable and efficient than the current spark plug technology and would help in starting up the vehicles even in cold and damp condition.
You may have a question that why scientist have done research on laser for ignition, but not on other things?
Laser can be focused and split into more than beams to give two or more ignition points, which means it can give up the best chance of ignition than any other thing.
If we consider the current ignition system, the spark plugs are normally positioned at the bottom or top of the cylinder and sometimes they can often fail to ignite the fuel effectively if the petrol is not in right position in the cylinder. But in the new technology the spark plug is replaced by the laser which is powered by the car battery, which is sent along thin optical fibers in to the engines cylinders, when lenses focus the beam into an intense pinprick of light.
There is no doubt that, this technology is going to get a huge response from the people's all around the world. So, soon we all will forget spark plugs, because you would be able to start your car by laser.
