Since I am not going to run the 3 rotor TC in a vehicle
I was thinking of using a cheap 110 volt to 220 volt AC transformer
and use a voltage doubler circuit to jack it up
440 volts DC for the capacitor discharge ignition I am designing for the rotary.

Philippe-Pierre DEJEAN in France had a better idea.  Two transformers.

Thanks for suggesting this very simple and robust power supply Philippe.


The 500 volt supply is working great with a 40 watt load.

Next step is dump some 500 volt charged, 2 mF capacitors into a 2nd gen waste spark coil
primary.

One such coil for each rotor.
