Check out the neat slo-motion video of combustion in a cylinder. It
was filmed at 10,000 frames per second and shows the compression /
ignition stroke and what happens in the cylinder to the gases. Neat
stuff. Then scroll down and read the comments - some guys are
baffled. You see the spark, but at 10,000 fps it seems like it comes
way too early, but we do remember that spark occurs BTDC - right? <G>
