The company that makes these is trying to get a company that I'm on the board of to market these things. We are humoring them right now because they may be financing one of our product lines, but it's flat-out bullshit. We colloquially call them the "magic beans". If we do anything with them at all it will not be associated with our technology group at all.

This way the electrical charge builds up to jump the small gap, and fires the plug more reliably. One size fits all, and I am told that it did help, mind you, helping Lucas Electric products is rumoured to be pretty easy, since most alterations were for the better.
