Title: Fumio Zega: Inventor of an Ignition Circuit for Self-Purifying Spark Plugs.

Introduction

Fumio Zega is an inventor associated with Hamamatsu, Japan. His recorded patent work includes an ignition circuit designed for self-purifying creeping discharge spark plugs. He is credited with 1 patent.

Latest Patents

Zega’s listed patent, “Ignition Circuit for Self-Purifying Creeping Discharge Spark Plugs,” describes a circuit built around a spark plug with a center electrode and a concentric ground electrode. The electrodes form a spark gap with a creeping surface along which sparks can travel. A capacitor is positioned near the gap and connected in parallel with it, while a series-connected impedance element is designed not to impede the electric charge discharged from the capacitor. The arrangement addresses ignition in a spark plug intended to support self-purification.
