Greg has found a way to remove the inverter from the mix.
Here’s his power usage for reference:
at idle: 8A @ 13.8VDC = 110.4 Watts
at 4500 RPM: 10A @ 13.8 VDC = 138 Watts
The oscillator plus voltage multiplier seems successful. It’s in the Bug and runs fine. The plasma spark is modest but still a plasma spark and explodes water easily.
I have gone to higher voltage and lower capacitance at the CDI Cap. The discharge is very, very fast and hard to capture the true intensity with the camera. Mike understands where I’m coming from on this issue.
The transformer warms up a little at prolonged higher RPM while driving around, but I can correct that by directing the flow from the chassis fan better.
