Capacitor discharge type ignition device

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5422341
A capacitor-discharge type ignition is described comprising: a vehicle alternating current generator, a current converting means including a voltage doubler rectifier circuit connected in series with DC-DC converter, the voltage doubler being connected to a stator coil of the generator for receiving first low AC signals, and converting the first low DC signals into first low DC signals, and converting them into second high DC signals, a charging control means for receiving the second high DC signals and charging a capacitor and discharging energy stored in the capacitor with the required timing, thereby providing a high ignition voltage.
