A combustion device test apparatus including a combustion device, a holding station configured to hold the combustion device, a fuel supply conduit, and a pressure wave fuse coupling the fuel supply conduit to the combustion device, the pressure wave fuse being frictionally coupled to one or more of the combustion device and the fuel supply conduit at a frictional coupling such that the pressure wave fuse is configured to disengage one or more of the combustion device and the fuel supply conduit at the frictional coupling upon traversal of a flame front pressure wave through the pressure wave fuse.

Combustion device test apparatus and method

A spark plug having an insulating body defining a longitudinal axis and including a base portion and an obstruction portion, a first electrode including a proximal portion, a sheathed portion and a distal portion, the sheathed portion of the first electrode extending through the base portion of the insulating body, and a second electrode including a proximal portion, a sheathed portion and a distal portion, the sheathed portion of the second electrode extending through the base portion and the obstruction portion of the insulating body, wherein the obstruction portion axially extends beyond the distal portion of the first electrode.
