Just wondering...have you tried placing a small piece of paper in between the plug gap? would it set the paper on fire after let say 1-5 sparks?
I think this will tell us if the sparks is hot or cold.
Hi Chris31,

I did the test and the paper mass is too great for an ignition but I did get a burn speck on the paper. I'll try and photograph it and post.

Hi all,
Here are some pics of the paper burn specks.
The circuit is VexUs using 3uF CDI cap, a 22uF storage cap, homemade two transistor oscillator / inverter with voltage doubler (diode - cap ladder).

..... then I put the paper back and ran it at high speed for a couple of seconds ....

Looks like yours went better then ours, it seems like for 30 minutes the light was okay with the heat, we used resistors so not a good idea
You know me.......I like to fry stuff! I took the cover off the inverter, the mosfets are smoked, crispy critters. I already have a plan for shielding, I guess I'll be working on that Monday. Later.............................Mike
