Magnetic core-coil assembly for spark ignition systems

A magnetic core-coil assembly for generating an ignition event in a spark ignition internal combustion system having at least one combustion chamber, said assembly comprising:

• a magnetic core composed of ferromagnetic amorphous metal alloy, said core having a common primary coil for low voltage excitation and a secondary coil for a high voltage output;
• said secondary coil comprising a plurality of stacked core-coil sub-assemblies connected in series with each other that are simultaneously energized in response to the low voltage excitation of said common primary coil, each of said core-coil sub-assemblies comprising a toroidally wound section having a secondary winding wound in a predetermined direction which is different than that for each of said core-coil sub-assemblies adjacent thereto;
• said core-coil sub-assemblies, when simultaneously energized by said common primary coil, producing secondary voltages that are additive, said high voltage output being the sum of said secondary voltages which are collectively fed to a spark plug to generate the ignition event in the internal combustion system;
• and
• said magnetic core-coil sub-assembly being configured for repeatedly generating said high voltage output in said secondary coil following the low voltage excitation of said common primary coil.
