I’m no way an expert on this but… I understand that coil windings, armature, condenser capacity (uf & v), spark plug and flywheel magnets have all been tuned to work together to create an optimal cascading current that creates the spark by smart engineers. This cascading current bounces back and forth between the secondary coil windings/condenser and spark plug to fire a number of sparks each time to fully ignite and then burn the fuel mix. I had always believed that it was just on single spark but that is not the case. When you play with the components bit you can likely maintain some type of cascading spark it just may not work as efficient.
People who are really into this stuff can hook-up a tuned oscilloscope to the spark plug wire of a running engine and view the cascading current. This allows them to tune things right both fuel and ignition. A while ago I bought a USB oscilloscope for my computer and hooked it up to my car. I got to see this in action but I had no clue what the heck I was doing so I put it away! Sometime I’m going to revisit this with more information and determination.
A little information is a dangerous thing!
