Measure car engine speed RPM via the cigarette lighter https://tube.loping.net/videos/watch/5876f057-c2c3-414f-b514-dfadd271d4ea I setup my new oscilloscope to measure a car's engine speed by connecting to the cigarette lighter. The inductive kicks from the ignition coil provide a timing signal that can be used to calculate RPM. In this particular car (a DeLorean), the engine fires unevenly by design, so the inductive kicks are not all regularly spaced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V6_engine http://ranwhenparked.net/2010/09/14/what-lies-beneath-the-controversial-prv-engine-part-3/ Sun, 12 Jul 2026 11:05:27 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.loping.net Measure car engine speed RPM via the cigarette lighter https://tube.loping.net/lazy-static/avatars/8a56e488-2120-4649-a417-badf5893657b.png https://tube.loping.net/videos/watch/5876f057-c2c3-414f-b514-dfadd271d4ea All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.loping.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
