Capacitative discharge ignition system for internal combustion engines

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Capacitative discharge, ignition system for internal combustion engines; comprises , a charge storage means coupled to the primary coil of, an ignition soil means having the secondary coil thereof coupled, to a spark means and a, switching means arranged to, discharge the charge storage mans to provide a primary, current through the primary coil for enabling the spark, means to generate a spark. The switching mans is arranged to terminate the , primary current in the primary circuit at about the time when, the charge storage means is substantially fully discharged, to induce a flyback potential across the primary coil to , regenerate the spark for increasing the total spark duration. Means …
