Re: Ignition and sparks

Paul,

Very interesting!  Seems all this ignition stuff is cloaked in smoke 
and mirrors!   I am still not sure about this match or flaming torch 
bit.  It is like dynamite which I used to play with way back 
when.  In order for it to go off BANG - you needed a 'cap'.   It 
really did not care if you had a dirty big cap or a small one - it 
went BANG all the same.

I also would like to know what technology Nology used for its special 
capacitor.  It seems it can do things above and beyond just storing energy?

I agree with the multiple spark thing - it really does not make sense 
to even try to have more than one spark.  One big one should do the trick.
