High Voltage Igniter

Here is an easy to build high voltage igniter that can be made fairly cheaply. Ignition coils require their 12v power source to be interrupted for them to release the charge on the high voltage side. Inserting a simple 40amp car relay and wiring it to turn itself and the coil off and on again repeatedly produces a high voltage spark I use to ignite my pulse jet engines.
Below is a list of parts needed. I sourced most of it from Amazon and there are affiliate links provided to the exact parts I used here in this video.
Build Parts:
40amp 5 pin car relay amzn.to/3w3c2hF
12v ignition coil amzn.to/3w3cc8L
Condenser amzn.to/3CLwabR
Extra Wire (I used an old light gauge extension cord) amzn.to/3GKCeSW
Shrink Tube (optional) amzn.to/3w8XJYV
12 volt battery amzn.to/3XdTM0Z
Crimp on Ring Terminals amzn.to/3QJntoj
10-32 bolt and 2 nuts
JB Weld (Optional) amzn.to/3GIMhYS
Tools Required:
Wire Strippers
Soldering Iron (optional)
Solder (optional)
Soldering Paste (optional)
Wrenches
Welder or JB Weld

This is the first video that steps through exactly the connections for these things. Great work

Thank you. I hope it was clear enough. I feel like sometimes a schematic just isn't good enough

Auto manufacturers pulse the positive instead of the negative in their waste(d) spark management systems for better fuel economy…the high tension spark is attracted to both the positive and negative. So all you do is swap the leads around. This implodes the nitrogen in the atmospheric air and sucks the piston up to Top Dead Center from Bottom Dead Center. Use DC GENERATED NON REGULATED FREQUENCY this is where the MAGIC happens…like the model T Ford had on it. Thanks for this tutorial it helps out greatly! Please do more high voltage set ups in future videos. Thank you!

I had a model T coil years ago and it got ruined somehow. Had to get a little creative and this works perfect for creating a beast of a spark for my pulse jets.

Could you increase the voltage to the coil to get a hotter more powerful spark? Maybe 20v?

@BuildNStuff Жыл бұрын

Yes I believe so

This ia a well made video, but it would have been even better if a circuit diagram was included. As they say, a diagram is worth more than a thousand words.

@alanpayne1442 Жыл бұрын

Well presented simple device - I wonder if it would work as an electric fence generator? Good video but for electrical people a simple wiring diagram speaks a thousand words.

@BuildNStuff Жыл бұрын

Thanks, I suppose it would work for an electric fence generator, but I wonder how well? I thought about just putting up a diagram, but there are other videos out there with those and I saw a ton of people being confused in the comments, so I thought something more visual would be better for most.

maybe use a 12v flasher in series on 12v+ side of coil?

@THINAGARAN-qg3gp 2 ай бұрын

Why does the relay heats up and the circuit breaks?

@taigenhayward3369 Ай бұрын

Without that condenser will the spark not pulse, because I have the same setup but without the condenser and it will only spark if I tap the negative wire coming from the battery and I want it to always be pulsing so is that the condenser issue?

@BuildNStuff Ай бұрын

Yes, you need that condenser

Condenser goes to the negative side of a coil just as it would on a Car.

Works well the way I've got it here.

@lomasck Жыл бұрын

@@BuildNStuff I cant say much because I dont know the rest of how its wired.If a coil has its poles swapped around it looses about 30 % of its spark & these tip of the spark plug runs colder making starting harder .I have a drawing of how to build one on my pulse jet engine sight.

@BuildNStuff Жыл бұрын

Although the condenser may be backwards, the ignition coil itself is wired correctly. This is how I wrote it down 15+ years ago and the few I've made this way have worked well. A condenser is most likely a non-polarized capacitor and if that is the case, it is irrelevant how you hook it up.

Well, that's how points work. This is simulating the points, but much, much faster.
