I have read the original of that out of a magazine my father gave me, 
I think it was popular electronics? The circuit that ive been using 
the past couple of days has been much like that except take out the 
3906 and replace the 3055 with a REALLY BIG power transistor that i 
found in my junk box( big as in 3lb, 7"x7"x7", and 8 gauge leads) I 
honestly have no clue what they came out of but when i tested the 
circuit I hooked it up to a 1" speaker from an old phone in place of 
the coil, and the speaker cone shot out, 100KHz, 7.2V, square wave. 
It'll also test the limits of a 18" speaker for my stereo. I am very 
confident that I can drive my TC with this : ). And does anyone know 
of a site with recomended waveforms and frequencies for driving an 
ignition coil? I took a guess with the 100KHz and square wave and i 
actually had longer arcs with the relay.
