Summary
| Description |
English: The magneto is an engine-driven alternating
current (AC) generator. At first, the magneto generates electrical power by the engine rotating the permanent magnet and inducing a current to flow in the coil windings. As current flows through the coil windings, it generates its own magnetic field that surrounds the coil windings, until the current flow is stopped, and the magnetic field collapses across a second set of windings in the coil, causing a high-voltage to arc across the spark plug gap. |
