Talk:Trembler coil

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English.

High tension / high voltage[edit]

A recent edit changed "high tension" to "high voltage" throughout. I'd agree that this contemporary terminology is clearer in most ways, but the contemporary and contextual term for these devices was always "tension". Do we need to use "tension" near the intro, just to clarify the context for readers who have probably just encountered the term "high tension" and will be looking for this article to explain it.

Ford Model T ignition system[edit]

The description of the Model T ignition systen is actually incorrect and lead to some myths being introduced. The description may fit when running on battery, but that is only used as a start up option or fall back operation if the primary source of power fails. The model T ignition system is far more delicat as the tremler coils are feed with AC generated by the 16 magnets on the flywheel and 16 coils on a coilring sitting close tothe rotating flywheel. At each top voltage of the AC of both polarities, the tremlercoil will fire with one spark (if adjusted correctly) on specific positions of the crankshaft determined by the position of the 16 magnets on the flywheel. Out of the 32 spark positions per revolution, the timer picks which one to actually ignite the cumbustion in the cylinder. If the dwell of each of the four coils are adjusted to be the same, this gives a very acurate and even ignition in all 4 cylinders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dykker5502 (talk • contribs) 11:45, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
