ABSTRACT The increasing disadvantages of spark plug ignition system due to some causes, it is becoming essential to find an alternative to the spark plug ignition system. spark plug ignition system is unable to burn the fuel mixture completely inside the combustion chamber,where as the alternative to it .The laser ignition system burns air fuel mixture completely and runs the engine for a longer time compared to spark plug ignition system.It is help to achieving the best performance of vehicle. This project presents the overall scenario of the working of laser ignition system which as the name suggests makes use of the laser.In this paper, mostly considering performances of laser ignition and conventional spark ignition systems are comparatively evaluated in terms of in-cylinder pressure variation, combustion stability, fuel consumption, power output and exhaust emissions at similar operating conditions of the engine due to the better outcome of this project yet to be aimed it.

- 4. INDRODUCTION A laser can be used instead of spark plug in ignition system . The laser ignition system can be change the concept of ignition process . It has may advantages compare to spark plug. By using laser plasma can located any where in the combustion chamber. Laser doesn't need electrode. Location of spark plug is flexible.
- 5. IGNITION SYSTEM There are two type of ignitions are classified likes, Compression ignition Induced ignition Definition It ‘s the power produce system.( 2 ms) To create a sparks/initial Energy. The air fuel mixtures are burn by a spark. Types of Ignition
- 6. Compression Ignition Depends upon the Pressure & Temperature.
- 7. Induced Ignition Called as SPARK IGNITION ( 50-60 per sec). Use to spark plug The plug able to burn the A/F mixtures in SI engines
- 8. Drawbacks of Spark Plug
- 9. Remedies of Problems When avoid the drawbacks of spark plug then need to alternative solution. An alternative solution to standard spark plug is the use of pulsed laser, focused to create plasma, representing the laser ignition. Laser ignition, or laser-induced ignition, is the process of starting combustion by the stimulus of a laser light source.

CONCLUSION In this project, it is described the positive research work on laser ignitions which can replace the conventional spark plug in near future very soon due to avoid the disadvantage of spark plug ignition system . The laser ignition systems able to burn air fuel mixtures completely and runs the engine for a longer time compare to spark plug ignition system which helps to lower down the Nox emission and gives better fuel efficiency .And laser ignition will be a milestone of future in automobile industry. Main advantages are the free choice of the ignition location within the combustion chamber and Significant reductions in fuel consumption & exhaust gas. At present, a laser ignition plug is very expensive as compared to spark plugs. But potential advantages will surely bring it in to market for many practical applications.
