This ignition coil driver is a HOT one! From my recollection, it delivers a nastier spark than the legendary Ford Model T ignition coil. The circuit uses an inverted 555 oscillator that is coupled to ...

The transistor ignition system mentioned in EW last week is being developed by Joseph Lucas Ltd.for use high speed engines with high compression ratios. It provides a constant spark voltage at all ...

Since 1914 auto makers have used the Kettering or inductive ignition system: a battery, transformer (coil), a cam-driven mechanical switch (breaker points), a distributor and spark plugs. The system ...

The automotive ignition system is an incredibly amazing machine that has evolved for more than 100 years already and continues to evolve as the demand drives the need to develop more efficient engines ...

Ignition coils play a crucial role in a vehicle’s ignition system. They serve to convert the battery’s low voltage into the high voltage necessary to fire the spark plugs. If there’s any malfunction ...

A COMPLETELY new method of car ignition, using transistors, will be shown by Joseph Lucas (Electrical) at the International Motor Show opening at Geneva tomorrow (Thursday). So, 61 years ago, started ...
