Abstract:
1. A method for forming a composite ignition device for an internal combustion engine, comprising: providing an insulator defining a cavity therein and including an outside diameter and an inside diameter, said insulator formed from a dielectric material having a predetermined dielectric value; bonding a first conductor to said inside diameter of said insulator body, said conductor comprising first and second conductive inks, wherein a viscosity of said first conductive ink is higher than a viscosity of said second conductive ink; bonding a second conductor to said outside diameter of said insulator body, said first conductor, said second conductor, and said insulator forming a capacitor having a predetermined capacitance value; connecting a tip assembly to said first conductor, said tip assembly disposed in said cavity of said insulator and including a positive electrode tip extending from said insulator; connecting a resistor member to said tip assembly, said resistor member disposed in said cavity; coupling an electrical connector to said resistor member; and attaching a shell to said second conductor, said shell including a negative electrode having a tip formed thereon and spaced apart from said positive electrode tip.
