Am I correct that you are going to fire multiple pulses for each firing event?

If so, have you worked out the firing BTDC  in degrees for the initial spark? Are you going to keep it at the 22 degrees BTC that has been talked about here, or are you going to try to use variable timing and advance?

My latest idea is use a trigger wheel made from a $22 sprocket with half
the teeth removed and two pickup ups 180 degrees apart. One for the front rotor
and one for the rear.  That will fire the plugs  stating at 22 BTDC and every
20 degree there after using 2 reluctance pick ups.  Each trigger event may
or may not fire the plug twice.  I took your advice and used the LM1815 zero
crossing detector chip.

The ignition module is still in development. Working with Robert Leclercq   we have
made some major improvements lately . Robert is also working on a parallel approach.

One could make the pick ups  rotate relative to the e-shaft manually
like a Ford Model T to advance the spark at high altitude and engine low power.
That has proven to enhance the MPG by Klaus's  Light Speed Engineering.

This has kind of side tracked me from the turbo compound but it is
very cold in the hanger these days.) Global warming is a scam :)
