Abstract

A pulse forming device for the generation of alternating current pulses which are to be supplied to a gap of an ignitor in an internal combustion engine, comprising an electrical circuit including a capacitor (158) for storing a quantity of electrical energy, and a pair of electrical conductors (160, 164) for electrically connecting said capacitor (158) with said ignitor. The capacitor (122, 158, 144) is inserted and/or distributed along at least a portion of an electrical distribution cable (123, 146, 180).
