Abstract
High reliability and simple repair and maintenance make this breakerless capacitor discharge ignition system not only competitive but also vastly superior to those systems operating with breaker points and batteries. The new system is the result of developments in solid state switches and alternators using permanent magnets. This paper details the design, describes the operation, and outlines tests that substantiate its desirable capabilities.
