Voltage regenerator for ignition systems of internal combustion engines

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The voltage lost through the formation of magnetic fields and leakage and stray currents on the cover of a distributor and on the insulation of the high-voltage current conducting cables from a high-voltage coil to a distributor and from a distributor to a plurality of spark plugs of an ignition system of an internal combustion engine is at least partially regenerated by a voltage regenerator comprising inductive current trapping means for recovering the current lost through the insulation of said high-voltage current conducting cables, said current trapping means being coupled to said cables at a short distance from the current receiving ends thereof; encapsulated current collector means …
