Spark ignition is the most commonly usedmethod and is characterized by two important parameters: minimum ignition energy and quenching distance. This paperpresents a review of various ways ahead in experimental investigation in the area. We focus on the conditions influencingthe experiments and estimation of the minimum ignition energy. The main issues in previous experimental studies are:construction of the ignition apparatus, spark energy estimation and the statistical nature of the phenomenon. A summary ofthe research conditions data is presented.}, issn = {2083-4195}, pages = {171–182}, url = {https://papers.itc.pw.edu.pl/index.php/JPT/article/view/800} }
