Ignition only

[Jorgen Karlsson]

Since I have some time on my hands now I will try some asci graphics.

Two resistors that represent the spark gaps, we draw resisitors like this in
Scandinavia.

The current passes through both spark gaps, one is at close to atmosperic
pressure and the other is highly compressed. The one at athmosperic pressure
has a low impendance and acording to ohms law it does not produce a powerful
spark. The otherone requires a lot of voltage to jump the gap, this voltage
times the same current as the other spark gap equals a powerful spark.

Is this how it works?
If it is it is very similar to a dizzy setup. One low power spark and one
high power during each event.
