MAGNETO FOR EXTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: electrical equipment for power units. SUBSTANCE: magneto has storage capacitor connected to charging coil through rectifier, ignition coil whose primary windings is shorted out by diode and connected in series with storage capacitor and switching member; the latter is built around reed relay; full-wave rectifier uses four diodes; ignition coil winding are connected into transformer circuit. Reed relay is connected in parallel with rectifier output whose positive output is connected to storage capacitor lead; rectifier negative output is connected through primary winding of ignition coil to second lead of storage capacitor; rectifier inputs are connected to charging coil one of whose leads is connected to magneto ground. EFFECT: improved design. 1 dwg
