I see the "Ignition loads current verses input voltage"has been locked down seemingly at the request of the author.

Personally,I would have voted that as thread of the month.
Mr.Norton was obviously,and understandably frustrated with the way his thread had veered off it's intended simple course.Many thanks to him,and his efforts.

However... a "new thread" as was suggested by Ladyflyer in her post#109 would be sweet.There seems to be a population of electronic minded modeler's in here.

Partial quote:
"With battery/coil ignition circuits there are many elements outside the simple DC resistance of the coil that will affect the actual operating load. Those factors, like the Ohm's law debate are probably beyond the scope of this topic. Perhaps we could start a new thread ?"

"Current Draw in Pulsed Coils At The Point of Magnetic Saturation" Anyone ?
We could discuss how voltage engine speed ,crankshaft dwell angle etc affect the saturation point as well."


I only wish that I could personally make a meaningful contribution.
I am fascinated,and eating this stuff up with a spoon.
