Here is a PDF for a modified CDI ignition system built for racing engines. It is beyond my ability to build. But maybe if you combined this modified system that fires multiple times with our HV system, it will help us to run on water.

The PDF is an excellent article and worth the read.

I'm not sure that using an MSD type of ignition is warranted at this point.
That type of ignition is better suited to igniting the slower burning gasoline, with it's obvious residuals, that are known to be left behind after the ignition event has concluded.
I'll stick with the single discharge for a while longer, given the costs. At least until I see a reason to adopt the MSD anyway.
Upon reflection, those added sparking events should have nothing to ignite if HHO is in the equation, given the much more rapid burn rate.
I reason that we only need 1 decent white spark to get the show on the road, anything coming after that could just be a waste of resources.
It's still early days, so until we know more, it's better to stick with the known methods and cross one bridge at a time.
I'm currently uploading video of the tests I mentioned earlier to Youtube, and please don't burn me at the stake for my camera skills, Spielberg I'm not. The only thing that should be considered in the footage are the actual strength and brightness of the spark events captured, and of course the colours.
I'll post the link as soon as I'm done.
