(Source: PRNewswire)trackingALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Ignition products company Enerpulse, Inc. has released a new generation (G3) of Pulstar(R) pulse plugs offering improvements in durability, power and fuel economy.

Pulstar(R) pulse plugs, the first capacitor-enhanced spark plugs, are the most significant technological advancement in spark plug design in the past 100 years. Using the conservation-of-energy principle, Pulstar(R) pulse plugs have demonstrated, through independent third party testing, their ability to improve ignition efficiency from less than two percent to over 50 percent, resulting in more consistent and efficient combustion.

Improvements in the manufacturing process combined with design changes have enhanced the durability of the new pulse plug. By increasing insulator density and relocating the capacitive assembly, durability of the Pulstar(R) G3 has increased by over 400% over the G2 version. In addition, manufacturing refinements to the core components during assembly of the sealed insulator have resulted in greater energy density of the spark discharge, improving ignition with a resulting increase in throttle response.

President and CTO Louis Camilli states that the new design has allowed for a reduction in coupling losses and improved the electrical to plasma transfer efficiency of the pulse plug. In simple terms, more electrical energy in the spark results in more combustion energy harvested which is manifested in more engine power from the same amount of fuel.

Customers are enthusiastic about the new Pulstar(R) G3. Burton Motors executive Lou Bledsoe writes, "... put the new Pulstar(R) in the 2001 Corvette and picked up 10HP and 17 ft/lbs of torque over stock during a dyno test." Another customer, Steve Lucas, says, "We now have them (G3) in our '07 Saturn Greenline Hybrid with the 2.4 VVT Engine and can honestly say we have dramatically increased our MPG. It has increased the mileage from an average of 29 mpg to over 34, an average increase of 20 percent".

The new Pulstar(R) G3 is currently available through Amazon, CSK, Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone.

Enerpulse, a privately held company headquartered in Albuquerque, N.M., was founded in 1996. The company develops ignition products through the application of pulse power technology. For more information, visit http://www.pulstar.com, or call Kyle Jones at 1- 888-800-6700.
