Question for electronics experts...
Have a look at the drawing posted at this URL:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/misc/kettering.jpg Ignoring for the moment the text at the top of the diagram, and going solely by the diagram itself, is this diagram depicting a starter system, or an ignition system? (BTW, the text in the middle of the diagram appears to read "Hyl tension"). I have a specific reason for asking this. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

OK, what am I missing? The text on the secondary reads "high tension" to me. This makes sense with a diagram of a battery connected to a coil (primary), and some kind of disconnect. Make the circuit, current flows in the primary, indcues a current in the secondary which has many more coils (implied graphically by smaller, tighter coils) and creates a high voltage, low current pulse in the secondary. So, part of an ignition circuit. (Or a simplified ignition circuit.) Dan (This account is not used for email.)

An ignition system. http://users.mrbean.net.au/~rover/ketterin.htm |

Good page. I'm going to link that page in the FAQ. Thanks to that site, I now finally understand the exact role of the condenser in the Kettering system. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

It appears to be an ignition system. It is a simplified diagram for firing
the spark plug.

The text is high tension, as in the high voltage side of the circuit. John |

The drawing and text are of the original Kettering ignition. Has nothing to do with a starter system. |

This diagram is on page 255 of a Motor Trend "100th Anniversary of the Automobile" book put out in 1985. It is on a page dedicated to the Automatic Starter, as developed by C. F. Kettering in 1911. The tagline calls the diagram "Kettering's original drawing for the patent for the automatic starter". The diagram appears to be the wrong one for that page. This mistake is actually a good thing for me, as I wanted to include that diagram (just for fun) in a new part of the FAQ having to do with the ignition. I wanted definitive confirmation of my suspicion, which every reply here has supplied. Thanks to all. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
