Abstract:
An ignition system for an internal combustion engine that utilizes a single primary coil and a single secondary coil to drive a pair of spark plugs. Current flowing in both a first direction and a second direction passes through the primary coil. The current flowing through the primary coil induces corresponding current in the secondary coil, which flows from the secondary coil to one of two spark plugs. Each spark plug is coupled to the secondary coil such that each of the two spark plugs receives current flowing only in a single direction. The current flowing through the ignition system can be from either a power source or created by the rotation of a flywheel having a series of magnet clusters.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of controlling the activation of a first spark plug and a second spark plug of an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of:\n connecting a power supply to a center tap of a primary coil; connecting the primary coil to ground through a first switching member and a second switching member; selectively operating a controller to close the first switching member to allow a first current to flow through a first portion of the primary coil in a first direction; selectively operating the controller to close the second switching member to allow a second current to flow through a second portion of the primary coil in a second direction; positioning a secondary coil such that first and second currents are induced into the secondary coil by the primary coil; coupling the first spark plug to the secondary coil such that only the first current induced in the secondary coil flows through the first spark plug; and coupling the second spark plug to the secondary coil such that only the second current induced in the secondary coil flows through the second spark plug.
