CD Ignition

[John Dammeyer]

Hi,

Has anyone have an article on the theory or even a schematic of a Capacitive
Discharge Ignition.  In particular are they just stepping up battery voltage
to about 300V and then switching that with a shorter dwell time or is there
more to it?

Got to be able to crank my Briggs&Stratton Lawnmower engine down to -40
degrees you know and at that temperature the batter is much less efficient.

Thanks,

John.
