The purpose of the energy cell, or air cell, is to_______________.

Acause auto-ignition in the cell rather than in the main combustion chamber
Bcreate a high turbulence within the main combustion chamber
Callow the spray to hit the piston rim rather than the cooler cylinder wall
Dmake a blast in the main chamber prior to the piston expansion stroke
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) create a high turbulence within the main combustion chamber. The energy cell or air cell in an engine is designed to generate high turbulence within the main combustion chamber. This turbulence improves the mixing of the air-fuel mixture, leading to more efficient combustion and better engine performance. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Auto-ignition is not the purpose of the energy cell. C) Directing the fuel spray to the piston rim is not the main function of the energy cell. D) Creating a blast in the main chamber is not the purpose of the energy cell.
