Did you google autotransformer like I told you to? Did you see the schematic of an autotransformer?? Is it wound any different than an ignition coil?
More proof needed? Read the second paragraph to see who is right.

Once the primary coil is saturated, both the max current and voltage will be available when it collapses. You can't generate only one.
You have said you disagree twice now. But fail to provide anything specific, just this lame response:
I've already written a somewhat long description of ignition physics in the C3 Tech section, and I don't see that it's a productive use of my time to repeat that effort here just for your entertainment. Believe what you want. I don't gain anything if you agree with me, nor lose anything if you don't. I honestly don't care either way.
Again I invite you to describe the "several technical disagreements" or errors in my post.

Oh you care. Fact is there are no errors in my post, only in yours. I pointed out my problems with your post and now suddenly you "don't have time" to show me where I am wrong? You have plenty of other time for all your other wordy posts but not enough to bury a guy who challenges your perceived knowledge?

But, I'll tell you what. If we can have a civil, engineering discussion I'm interested in that (I'll even admit to being half of the previous difficulty).
If that's possible, I'd like to discuss my disagreements with parts of posts 12, 14, 19, and 21. Some of these are technical disagreements, and some are your inferences/extrapolations of things I did not say.
I'll also explain my viewpoint to parts of my posts that you disagree with.
Your call.
