Abstract
This invention relates to a contactless ignition circuit for internal combustion engines characterized in that a primary short-circuiting current flowing through the primary winding of an ignition coil is made to flow through a power transistor controlled to be conducted and interrupted by a photoswitching means, the formation is small and simple, the contact is not worn and the life is long.
Claims4
A contactless ignition circuit for internal combustion engines characterized in that the collector and emitter of a power transistor are connected respectively to both ends of the primary winding of an ignition coil and the base of this power transistor is connected to the neutral point of the connection of a resistance and light receiving element connected in series to both ends of said primary winding so that, when the current flowing through said primary winding reaches a substantial peak value, a light projecting means will project the light of a maximum level onto said light receiving element.
