Nice demo on the peaking capacitors. They definitely work and are time tested. I like your 3rd video to show the difference with adding more capacitance. Peaking caps are definitely a low budge and low tech to get significant results above stock.

Have you experimented with the plasma jet ignition method?

Here's an example:

Hi
I really appreciate what you've done for me(Faraday88 and Aaron Murakami)
This video was fantastic. That's a great Invented
I don't experimented with the plasma jet ignition method . but i want to learn
1- Is plasma jet possible with standard spark plug? example: Bendix Autolite 94 spark plug
2- How much volt is a plasma jet spark?
3- Is it possible that this high voltage will break the piston?
Kind regards,
ahGM
Thank you .

Hey,
Just check if the spark plug you bought does not have a resistor in line...you need to remove it for Plasma Ignition method..
Aaron will chime in to comment more...

@ahGM,

1 - yes, as long as it is a NON-RESISTOR spark plug. If you use non-resistor plugs with your capacitors in parallel (peaking caps) you should get better results too.

2 - the voltage will be the same as any capacitive discharge ignition system.

3 - it is not possible with voltage.

The plasma ignition method causes a low voltage high current capacitor to jump a gap when it normally will not. And it does it at a decreased resistance meaning the cap discharges very fast so the power gain is enormous. You are getting a huge power impulse. If the capacitor is too big that jumps the gap, it could possibly damage the valves, etc. but if you only use a capacitor in a common off-the-shelf CDI or MSD, then you will not have those problems.

All details are in http://ignitionsecrets.com package but you could see the basic setup on my Datsun pickup video.

Hi
Thank you Dear Aaron Murakami and Faraday88
It was very nice of you to help me.

I was wondering if someone could help me out with creating better spark with a Typical battery points and condenser/capacitor ignition system on a old lawn tractor
I do not want to put a msd box on it because that system would probably cost me more than the tractor lol. Could I use a 20kv diode like Peter did in the video on page 1 of this thread. Thank you Jeremiah

Hi RB176,

Which engine do you have and does it have a magneto or battery ignition system?

There are low cost solid state (hall effect) modules available for each type system. Couple this with a peaking cap and it will give a pretty hot spark (but not plasma). To get the plasma effect you have to use a cap discharge system.

Let me know what you have, and I can help you out with it. I used to sell and service several different brands of outdoor power equipment, and have replaced lots of points ignition systems with solid state ones. I've converted Briggs, Kohler, Tecumseh, and several two strokes as well.

It’s a 14hp Kohler

[Gary Hammond]

Hi Jeremiah,

I may have spoken too soon.

The 14 Kohler has breaker points operated by a push rod from the camshaft with built in spark retard and/or compression relief for starting. Since this is a battery type ignition there is no rotating magnet to trigger a hall effect module unless you add one somewhere on the crankshaft or flywheel. With a magneto ignition the magnet is already there in the flywheel.

Pertronix and Compufire both make modules that are custom made to fit various distributors. If you could find a used distributor and drive it at 1to1 or 1to2 from the crankshaft one of these modules would work to trigger your coil.

If you go to that much effort and expense, however, it might be better to just get the entry level MSD box, trigger it with the original points (minus condenser), add the high voltage diode and you'll have PLASMA! Since the points would only be switching the trigger current, they would last a long time and work very reliably.

Hi Jeremiah,

The MSD street fire is only $161.95 from Summit Racing. Here's the link. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/msd-5520/overview/

Yes Gary the system you spoke of is exactly what it l have. I thought maybe I could use ceramic capacitors inline with the spark plug which showed a big improvement in spark outside the engine, but that didn’t work when in use. The engine at first didn’t want to start but eventually did but at full rpms it started cutting out and would not run steady. I would really like to figure something out with out the use of a Msd.
