Re: [TCML] Ignition coil driver



    
I would love to see some pictures of that coil in action!

The firstTesla coil I ever made used a Ford model T coil powered by a 6 volt car battery.  Worked great!  If you run the ignition coil off of 110v ac, you need isolation---I avoided that by using the battery, which would last for months before needibg a recharge.

Not as cheap..

any of the standard capacitor discharge electronic ignitions basically 
put 400V pulses into the coil to generate HV.

6000 RPM in a 8 cylinder engine is 200 Hz

typical energy per "pulse" is 100 mJ so 200 Hz is 20 W
