How the heck do these little engines run with their flywheel and coil, and no breaker points or condenser? All magneto engines used to need them.

My Ryobi whacker had something about Electronic Ignition printed on it. Is there some circuitry in that black coil lump to make the field collapse instantaneously like opening the points used to do? If all you needed was a magnet zipping past a coil, I think there would have been pointless engines all along.

Just curious!
