Re: Capacitive Discharge and Multiple Spark Discharge

weird, KLAS post didn't show up on my phone and internets been spotty at the house the last couple days. I will say that it is a good use of a PWM chip. Im not opposed to using an analog chip and amplifying the signal if it works well. A few varible resistances to tune the circuit by knobs and this ...

Re: Capacitive Discharge and Multiple Spark Discharge

You're probably right.  Though my counter point is that modern engine power is based on little efficiencies. I'm well acquainted with EMI and have some experience dealing with it in the automotive perspective as well working with mobile radios and antennas.  I do have a pretty insatiable curiosity b...

Re: Capacitive Discharge and Multiple Spark Discharge

Here's another one. Its a break down of the MSD 6AL ignition, a little dated for being on the internet but has good information. Has all the schematics and information if you want to make a copy unit. Just a few pages, certainly worth downloading and sticking in the library before the interweb spder...

Re: Capacitive Discharge and Multiple Spark Discharge

Fred you wouldn't happen to know when abouts that issue of silicon chip was? I love that magazine. More than Nuts and Volts even. Wish It was reasonable to get it here in the US, that international shipping is ballocks. Although for the sake of sharing information I did find this. It's very nice and...

Capacitive Discharge and Multiple Spark Discharge

I was looking on the interwebs for information and schematics for a multiple spark discharge system all I coulkd find was some wiring diagrams for hooking up and MSD Brand ignition, or soem simple schematics from patent papers. I was wondering if anyone around here had anything useful? Or a source?

Re: Jaguar 0.7-alpha release candidate discussion

I really like the versatility of the Jaguar design, as it sports a healthy set of options without being encumbering. I hope to maybe help out that dry spell of installs, even if they are just on engine test stands. Right now my plan is to set it up on a Briggs single cylinder that I also intend to c...

Re: Jaguar 0.7-alpha release candidate discussion

I saw the update on github. Is it about ready for the send off to the printers? How about the handling of the components? Do you do a group buyin to get the price down by volume, or setup like a kit package or how? I'm new around here but find this pretty interesting, and have a few engines laying a...
