I'm asked quite often about putting the plasma ignition on a motorcycle, but I'm always wondering about the CDI's that are so popular on bikes... can they be modified to produce the plasma like a car CDI?

The CDI module you see in those images or similar seem to be put on race bikes with no battery - my question is how is the cap charged with just a magnet on a flywheel that pass the coil 2 times per full cycle? It's normally wasted spark so it sparks on the compression and exhaust cycles.
Does anyone know the setup for a bike CDI with no battery?
