2. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

   Capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in outboard motors, motorcycles, lawn mowers, chainsaws, small engines, gas turbine-powered aircraft, and some cars.

3. Inductive discharge ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_discharge_ignition

   This coil is usually much longer than the primary loop, accomplished by many more loops around the magnetic core. As the magnetic field is built, it induces a current in the secondary coil as well. When the contact breaker opens the circuit, the magnetic field collapses, causing a high electric voltage in the primary and secondary coils.

4. Ignition coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_coil

   An ignition coil is used in the ignition system of a spark-ignition engine to transform the battery voltage to the much higher voltages required to operate the spark plug(s). The spark plugs then use this burst of high-voltage electricity to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The ignition coil is constructed of two sets of coils wound around an iron ...

5. High energy ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_energy_ignition

   A predecessor system called "Unitized Ignition" was optional on 1972 and 1973 Pontiacs. [citation needed] Most—but not all—HEI systems have the ignition coil mounted in the distributor cap. A control module and magnetic pickup are mounted in the distributor, in place of a conventional ignition system's breaker points and condenser.

6. Delco ignition system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delco_ignition_system

   The ignition coil is a transformer. The primary winding (called the low-tension winding in early texts) is connected to the battery voltage when the points are closed. Due to the inductance of the coil, the current in this circuit builds gradually. This current creates a magnetic field in the coil, which stores a quantity of energy.

7. Wasted spark system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasted_spark_system

   Ignition system of a flat-twin Citroën 2CV. A wasted spark system is a type of ignition system used in some four-stroke cycle internal combustion engines.In a wasted spark system, the spark plugs fire in pairs, with one plug in a cylinder on its compression stroke and the other plug in a cylinder on its exhaust stroke.
