Abstract

1, 077,004. Ignition systems. ROTAX Ltd. April 16, 1964 [May 1, 1963], No. 17110/63. Heading F1B. The invention relates to an ignition system including first and second terminals 5, 6 which in use are connected to an A. C. source, an ignition transformer having the ends of its primary winding 9 connected respectively to the first and second terminals, a capacitor 17 connected in series with one or more rectifiers 15, 16 across the secondary winding of the transformer, a control gap 18 and a spark gap 19 connected in series across the capacitor and a resistor 20 connected across the spark gap. According to the invention the ignition system includes a resistor 8 through which one end of the primary winding is connected to the first terminal and a capacitor 11 connected across the primary winding, the capacity of the capacitor being such that at the nominal frequency of the A. C. source it forms a resonant circuit with the primary winding. The number of turns in the primary winding may be variable.
