The primary winding creates a magnetic field when the current flows through ... to generate high-voltage sparks is vital for efficient engine operation and power delivery. The ignition coil consists ...

While electricity itself moves fast, it takes time for the changing magnetic fields ... Therefore, the higher the engine speed, the less time is allowed for coil charge-up between spark firings ...

Battery voltage (and a ground to complete the circuit) is applied to the primary windings and a magnetic ... observing engine speed (rpm). This can be accomplished by disconnecting coils or ...

They pass a non-magnetic pickup to trigger the ignition ... Yes, you can convert the engine to a distributorless—coil-on-plug—ignition system with a crank trigger, but you’re going to ...

Modern engines use computer-controlled factory ... This current generates a magnetic field in the coil's iron core. When the points open a few degrees of crankshaft rotation later, the current ...

The first engine uses a simplified piston assembly with a generating coil engaged below the combustion chamber by way of something like a connecting rod with an embedded magnet. The second ...
