Ignition distributor

An ignition distributor for use in an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• (a) an input terminal for connection to a high voltage source;
• (b) a plurality of output terminals for connection to ignition plugs, respectively;
• (c) a first electrode electrically connected to said input terminal;
• (d) piezo-conductive plates placed on said first electrode;
• (e) second electrodes formed of magnetic material and circumferentially arranged on said piezo-conductive plates, respectively;
• (f) means for electrically connecting said second electrodes to said output terminals, respectively;
• and
• (g) a rotor disposed to face said first electrode and provided at its one end with a magnet, said rotor adapted to rotate with rotation of said engine to sequentially bring said magnet below said second electrodes so that when said magnet comes below one of said second electrodes, it attracts said one second electrode to exert a pressure on the corresponding one of said piezo-conductive plates to render the same conductive thereby making an electrical connection between said one second electrode and said first electrode.
