Multi-strike ignition system for an internal combustion engine

An ignition system for an internal combustion engine comprising:

• a power source;
• a transformer having a first primary winding and a second primary winding and a secondary winding, said first and second primary windings connected to said power source such that said transformer produces an alternating voltage output from said secondary winding of between 1 kHz and 100 kHz and a voltage of at least 20 kV;
• a connector extending from said secondary winding, said connector adapted to connect with a terminal of a spark plug of the internal combustion engine;
• an electronic spark timing circuit cooperative with said transformer so as to activate and deactivate a voltage to said first and second primary windings, said electronic spark timing circuit producing a square wave of voltage in which the square wave has a rising edge and a falling edge, said electronic spark timing circuit firing said transformer at or subsequent to said falling edge and before said rising edge;
• and
• a booster circuit cooperative with said electronic spark timing circuit so as to collect and store energy from said power source while said electronic spark timing circuit fires said transformer.
