TheKid! spoke thusly:
>>>-Diode- You are the electronics' guru in this group am I right or not? Whoops, almost missed this, sorry. I've been in the electronics industry for a long time but I don't consider myself a "guru". That being said, more than just the distance determines where a spark will jump to. A spark will jump a longer gap if the conditions are "better" than the ones to the shorter gap. It also depends on the duration of the spark. I suppose IF the duration is long enough, the spark can jump to multiple points. The same could hold true for the MSD systems. Why don't one of you guys with a lot of time on your hands run some experiments with one electrode and multi-electrode plugs and see what happens? Connect a coil to the plug and feed the coil a chopped DC signal (not an AC signal). It's not the same conditions, granted, but it should tell you something. When you're done, you can use the test jig to make a nifty "Jacobs Ladder" like from the old horror movies. ) -- Shut up, Dave. -|>|- Diode -|<|- '68 L-79 Coupe '79 Triumph Bonneville |
