Blinker in action

I wonder if it's worth the time to try and build/incorparate this into a spark circuit.

My thought is useing it as a mini multi sparker, for my mini.

Any clue's???

why not just hold down the spark button? whats the point of intermittently sparking?

Multiple sparks are useful for when your fuel doesnt ignite the first time.
This means you are having problems with your fuel/air ratio and fuel mixing.
Getting a proper fuel metering system and a chamber fan will make the continious sparking unnessecairy.

But yes, it can be done if you just like to spark alot.

Stunguns already give mutliple sparks, usually about 10 sparks/second.

Really no reason to use multiple sparks. If the first spark did what it was supposed to do then the subsequent sparks don't do anything.

If the first spark didn't ignite the fuel the design / setup of the gun is so poor that that should be fixed. Even if the third, or 84th spark, or ... spark ignites the fuel the gun's performance will be crap.
