Hybrid ThorJack

[Petitlu]

I received an ignition coil Quad 250cc, I made my new ignition system!
I arcs of 20mm, I would have no problem ignition in large Mix.

I took an electrical discharge in hand, it's weird ...

Sweet, looking forward to more shots

is it like this iv all ways thought about getting one of them.

[Petitlu]

Jack me too!
But that very bad weather at home ...

I bought the coil on ebay also, the model is different but the electric arc stay the same !


I have functioned with a stroboscope miniature the coil, there are good arc

Here is my final electrode that will serve me for tests and later:



here is my new ignition system for tests of ThorJack.

My new box for testing, the right is located the coil and the relay, the small box contains the ignition flash.
Also a 12v battery to power the relay in the other box.
A interuptor start charging the capacitor, the other interuptor and push send 12v to actuate the relay:





I also miniaturized the ignition that will go on Thorjack, I followed the tutorial below:

Hmmm... looks a little... flimsy.

Have you thought of using an actual automotive spark plug?

You can get miniature ones for big R/C engines, chainsaws etc, something like this, very cheaply.

[Petitlu]

yes I have thought a spark plug.
But the diameter is too big and too would weaken the chamber.
Or should be a connector M1/8BSP-F14Metric but I can not find

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Question:

[Petitlu]

yes, it is 1/8BSP

the spark plug has an M14 thread - 1mm
So I need an adapter 1/8BSP Male / female M14-1mm

[MrCrowley]

I think it might be 1/8" (guessing from a post made on the first page).

I think spark plugs are perfect for hybrids but there's a reason neither of my two hybrids have them: they're difficult to find in the right thread sizes.
I'm sure I could order one with 1/8" or 1/4" threads off the internet but I've struggled to find affordable NPT/BSP spark plugs online in NZ and I haven't found any in stores. I know they are out there but I got sick of looking.

I could also epoxy them in a galv. fitting but that doesn't really give me much reason to ditch my homemade electrodes.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Hmmm... I could be inclined to make you a custom one if I have time though really, with a 1/8" nipple, bolt and some epoxy you should be able to make one that can go to 40x and beyond.

[Petitlu]

nice, but not one would use when the spark plug?

I'll watch the threads of spark plug radio controlled car

EDIT :
I bought a connector or 1/8-1/4 BSP like this:

With a tap of 14mm-1mm I remake the thread!

[Petitlu]

I also made this electrode that looks like a spark plug

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

What was the problem with this one, it looks great

[Petitlu]

j'avais eu un problème d'étanchéité mais maintenant c'est résolu.
Elle est un peu encombrante mais pour les tests...
