The laser beam is delivered by a thin, fibre-optic cable to a focusing lens that would take up much less space than a spark plug, allowing engineers greater flexibility in designing valves and cylinders. The laser beam can be split to ignite the fuel mixture from multiple points deep in the cylinder — as opposed to a spark plug which is located either at the top or bottom of an engine — making for a more efficient burn than a spark plug can achieve, reducing emissions and getting better fuel economy. Another advantage to the laser system is that part of the beam can be reflected to a receiver and used to gather data on the fuel mixture and the quality of the burn.
And this isn't merely a research project, as there are working prototypes of the system at the University of Liverpool laboratory. Ford, which has eagerly been adopting fuel efficiency technology such as electric-power steering and six-speed transmissions, reportedly will use the laser ignition system in some of its cars over the next couple of years, then spread the technology to the full range.
Currently internal-combustion engines that don't use diesel fuel require a spark plug to cause the engine's air and fuel mixture to ignite and release its energy. Diesel, or compression ignition, engines don't have a spark plug, but instead compress their air and fuel mixture so tightly that it combusts due to the pressure.
search firestorm spark plugs. that is great stuff. safely running a 14.7+ a/f ratio at wot and greatly increasing gas mileage. too bad they r outlawed for mass production

Good grief! Even in that link, they claim it lets you use water for fuel! Nearly all the discussion of these spark plugs is on "free energy"- and conspiracy-type sites. It's totally and completely a scam. You can tell just from the look of that site that it's a scam.
It is, of course, impossible to get more energy from burning hydrogen and oxygen than it took to split them from water in the first place. Here's a link to an electronics experts forum, with a whole bunch of links to threads devoted to debunking the idea of using water for fuel: All About Circuits Forum - View Single Post - Stanly Meiyer Explained with science.
Electricity takes the path of least resistance, i.e. the shortest route. Multiple-ground electrode plugs have been around for years. As the electrode wears, the spark jumps to the next closest one. These plugs do not create a hotter spark, increase mileage, or produce more power. They can, however, extend the length of time between plug changes compared to a single electrode plug.

umm ok its not like u can get firestorm plugs anyways. but w/e ima stand by my info n u can stand by urs. not gonna hurt me at all cause ill never have em
