Re: [TCML] AC powered Ignition Coil Circuit



My memory was bad, and I recalled poorly.

The dimmer circuit was indeed the circuit I was thinking off - despite my inaccurate description.

Do please forgive the nit-picking, but since when are thyristors not
semiconductors??? ;)

Hello,
    I recall seeing this one a while back:

It is the only circuit for the ignition coil I know of which doesn't
use semiconductors. It seems like it would be very hard on the coil.
