IGNITION DEVICE FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18257252 titled 'IGNITION DEVICE FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Simplified Explanation
The invention is an ignition device for a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine, with a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. The secondary circuit includes a secondary coil, a diode for suppressing a start-up spark, and a high-voltage connector for connection to a spark plug. A parallel path is formed electrically in parallel to the diode in the secondary circuit, with an ohmic load resistor or an electric switch, to extinguish residual energy, such as residual voltage, remaining in the secondary circuit after discharge of the ignition device.
