Abstract
The invention relates to a generator arrangement, in particular, ignition systems for internal combustion engines. The arrangement comprises a multi-legged core of magnetically conducting material with the legs radially projecting towards a cooperating magneto flywheel, which exhibits a section with unsymmetrical magnetic flux. The legs carry uniformly wound windings and are connected in two groups in the case of a one-cylinder internal combustion engine. The one group comprises two windings interconnected such that they only deliver an induced voltage when passed by the unsymmetrical section. The other group delivers an induced sum voltage. The voltage of the first mentioned group controls the ignition process whereas the second group charges a capacitor, component of the ignition system.
