`because of their size and inability to withstand the temperatures
`encountered there. Multiple pulses are still required for each
`ignition event, even with 250 microsecond duration per pulse,

`Capacitor Discharge Ignition System
`A capacitor discharge ignition system for a spark
`ignited internal combustion engine.
`The system has a power
`supply 10 for charging capacitor 12. Capacitor 12 is connected
`to a semiconductor switch 14 and when switch 14 is conductive,
`capacitor 12 discharges through the primary winding 16 of an
`ignition coil 18.
`The secondary winding 20 of ignition coil 18
`is connected to a spark plug 22 of a spark ignited internal
`combustion engine.
`The system can be a distributorless systea
`having a plurality of ignition coils and a plurality of switches
`like switch 14, one switch for each ignition coil.
`The switch 14 ig connected to a pulse control 24 which
`controls the switching of switch 14.
`The switching is controlled
`such that spark plug current flows for about 20 microseconds and
`can be controlled to provide spark plug currents having a
`duration in the range of 1 to 100 microseconds. Further,
`the
`number of current pulses that occur during an ignition event can
`vary in a range of 2 to 200.
`The resulting peak value of spark
`plug current may be 0.2 to 10 amps.
`The ignition coil primary 16
`may have less than 20 turns and the secondary 20 may have less
`than 2000 turns.
`
`The
`The pulse parameters yield two primary advantages.
`relatively high plug current affords the ability to create
`igniting arcs across badly fouled plugs and the high peak power
`enhances the ability to ignite lean air/fuel mixtures and
`alternate fuels like alcohol.
`Pulses produced by the system are more efficient in
`transferring energy into the gaseous air and fuel
`to be heated
`and ignited than are those with longer duration and shorter rise
`time.
`
`
`
`
`
`The relatively short duration of this high peak current
`and power level allows the necessary transformers to be of a
`
`certain design. As a result they are gmali, light weight, highly
`reliable and capabie of operating at high temperatures.
`They can
`
`then be mounted directly to the spack plug or can be combined
`
`with the spark plugs in an integral package.
`
`
`In conventional capaciter discharge ignition systems,
`the approach is to stretch the arc duration of capacitor storage
`
`(capacitor discharge} systems as far as practical or to
`
`approximately 250 microseconds. Large, heavy, expensive,
`
`relatively unreliable,
`ignition coils are required to support
