As I read it the key of the firestorm sparkplugs is not the materials but the shape of the electrodes.

Ouote from Robert Krupa :

"I went through all of them very carefully and found that the older the plug the more the center electrode of the plug was worn all around so there was no edge. It took the shape of a small ball A half a ball to be exact - a dome. I figured well, if that's what it wants then why not start off with that shape and see what it does?

I took a brand new plug and filed it down to make it look like a dome and fired it and noticed it worked a little better. But I still had a problem with the ground side. So, I whacked the ground off and started putting different configurations of grounding electrodes on it. I held that together with toothpicks to make it easy to change them. And I put a half a loop on and it seemed to fire a little bit better.

Then I took the head off a screw and bashed it with a hammer until it took a dome shape. Then I took the other side and dimpled it creating a concave... an inverted dome really. I sat that dome very carefully on top of the electrode of the new plug that I had filed to accommodate it, then I put a half a ring over it for the negative electrode. I held all that together with toothpicks. And it started firing like crazy and I said, 'Hey! I've really got something here...' And after that I began looking for a prototype shop to make a set of super custom plugs."

Captain Nemo? As in Jules Vernes' Mysterious Island (Ah yes, I
remember "Family Classics" with Frazier Thomas.) AFAIK, that's
fiction, no? Does Mysterious Island have native girls?
Please provide GPS coordinates because I want to visit there!
LOL

I'll bet Nemo was dumping major chlorine gas into the atmosphere
(before they knew it punched holes in the ozone.) Then again if
you're out in the middle of nowhere, who would know.
