- I believe that I have the definitive analysis of why the current through the spark plugs is NOT supplied by the capacitor. I humbly believe that Barney has made another mistake in his anaylsis: he re

- the spark plugs is NOT supplied by the capacitor. refers to a 'wad' of electrons being built up on the capacitor when the points open, but in fact, it is the reverse, the plate (terminal) of the capa

- I said I wasn't going to do this, dammit. ;^) Go look at the waveforms again. The high voltage at the spark plugs is negative in polarity. Electron flow, being from positive to negative, has to be f

- That's the problem! I was trying to keep the explanations in simple terms too. I finally capitulated and specified electron current flow. The only reason for all this discussion is so that readers wh

- highly negative. That means that current (not electrons) flows from the centre electrode of the plug TOWARDS the capacitor -- which would increase its charge. For those who didn't catch it, the diagr
