Spark plugs giving way to lasers

Say goodbye to spark plugs, a 19th century technology about to be supplanted by lasers. The U.K. dossier The Telegraph reports that Ford is working with the University of Liverpool to expand on a laser ignition system for internal-combustion engines. That's virtuous: engines with frickin' lasers strapped to their heads.

The laser shine is delivered by a thin, fiber-optic cable to a focusing lens that would take up much less lay out than a spark plug, allowing engineers greater flexibility in wily valves and cylinders. The laser beam can be split to ignite the nourishment mixture from multiple points deep in the cylinder, making for a more efficacious burn than a spark plug can achieve, reducing emissions and getting sick fuel economy. Another advantage to the laser system is that part of the beam can be reflected to a receiver and familiar to gather data on the fuel mixture and the quality of the set on fire.
