Knite Inc. was founded in 1996 with the goal of developing advanced technologies to solve engine performance problems that were once considered impractical or impossible with conventional technologies. Knite is commercializing the Kinetic Spark Ignition™ System (KSI™), a technology invented at Princeton University, which generates a large dynamic spark by means of its proprietary electronics module and igniters. The effect is to dramatically improve spark-ignited engine performance and efficiency while significantly reducing emitted pollutants. Knite has been issued 14 patents worldwide (6 in the U.S.) and has numerous worldwide patent applications pending.
