    Abstract: An aircraft piston engine magneto having a magnetic rotor and an ignition circuit with a reconfigurable charging coil inductively coupled to magnetic rotor. The charging coil includes multiple coils inductively powered by the magnetic rotor and electronically reconfigurable from a higher turn, lower amperage power coil for use when running at low speeds into a lower turn, higher amperage coil at higher speeds. The charging coil is configured into the higher turn coil by electronically connecting the multiple coils in series, and into the lower turn power coil by electronically connecting the coils in parallel. The ignition circuit is a fully electronic ignition circuit that generates and distributes ignition pulses to the piston engine spark plugs using only non-mechanically actuated electrical components within the magneto.

    Abstract: In at least some implementations, a method of operating an ignition system for a combustion engine includes charging an energy storage device during at least a portion of the time when the engine is operating, permitting the level of energy stored on the charge storage device to decrease over time after the engine ceases to operate, determining the energy level on the energy storage device when the engine is restarted after having ceased operating, and setting at least one engine operational parameter as a function of the determined energy level. In at least some implementations, the at least one engine operational parameter may include one or more of: richness of a fuel and air mixture to be delivered to the engine, ignition timing, desired engine idle speed.

    Abstract: An ignition control device is provided with an ignition coil including a primary coil and a secondary coil, a main ignition circuit performing a main ignition operation, an energy input circuit that performs an energy input operation for superposing a current having the same polarity to a secondary current, in which a signal generation circuit is provided to generate, based on a main ignition signal that controls the main ignition operation, at least one of an energy input signal controlling the energy input operation and a target secondary current command signal commanding a target secondary current value.
