I was testing the optical ignition trigger test unit and it
 works down to 360 RPM and battery voltage of
3.5 Volts.

In theory it is down to zero RPM but my DC motor
will not run less than 360 RPM. It takes a half volt
to make it run. It also works at 10,000 RPM
with six sparks. Look closely at the O-scope panel
and you can barely read the time period of one division
on the face of the scope.

Here are six  spark triggers.

For the new guys I am developing a high speed multi spark
ignition system to burn the unburned hydro carbons and
improve the BSFC numbers of the rotary.

I will demo the ignition at AusFly in about 2 weeks
using this trigger test set up.
