Ignition Systems Or….. How to be a bright spark
Secondary Windings Coil Primary Windings Soft Iron Core Engine Driven Rotor and Magnets Magneto Operation IGNITION SYSTEM IGNITION SYSTEM
S S S S N N N N S S S S N N N N Principal - Coil Windings Volt Meter Each time the magnetic field ‘washes’ through wires An electrical current is produced Called an EMF – Electro Motive Force IGNITION SYSTEM – Faraday Law
Magneto Operation EMF produced in the coil windings The magnetic field passes through soft iron core IGNITION SYSTEM IGNITION SYSTEM
No EMF produced in the coil windings No magnetic field in soft iron core IGNITION SYSTEM
EMF produced in the coil windings again The magnetic field passes through soft iron core again IGNITION SYSTEM
