Multiple capacitor means ignition system

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
In an ignition system for an internal combustion engine having a power source producing an alternating current output including a positive polarity portion and a negative polarity portion, firing means for said engine, a plurality of separate power capacitor means connected to said firing means, a steering circuit including full wave rectifying means connecting the power source to said power capacitor means and polarized to conduct rectified positive polarity portions to first power capacitor means and rectified negative polarity portions to second power capacitor means for separately and sequentially charging of respective ones of said capacitor means to the same polarity and to a predetermined rectified potential, rectifier circuit means connected to said power source and to the trigger capacitor means for continuously supplying both said positive and negative polarity portions of said alternating current output to the trigger capacitor means for charging of said trigger capacitor means, and trigger means connecting the trigger capacitor means for alternately discharging said first and second power capacitor means.
2.
The ignition system of claim 1 wherein said power source produces a plurality of output charging cycles between each discharge of the power capacitor means.
3.
The ignition system of claim 1 for a four-cylinder, two-cycle engine, wherein said power source is an alternator establishing at least six complete charging cycles per engine revolution each of said cycles including a positive polarity half-cycle and a negative polarity half-cycle forming said polarity portions, and said trigger means being connected to discharge the power to capacitor means adjacent the peak of a corresponding charging half-cycle.
4.
The ignition system of claim 3 wherein the output of the power source varies with engine speed and said circuit means includes a low impedance network to continuously supply power to the trigger capacitor means and a high impedance network to supply power to the trigger capacitor means at low engine speed
