ABSTRACT:
A corona arc circuit has a spark plug connected in series with a rectifier. A capacitor is connected in series with a spark gap and the spark plug. An electrical power source has a transformer with a primary winding providing an AC voltage and a secondary winding connected to the capacitor via the rectifier for charging the capacitor. The secondary winding is connected to the spark plug via a high voltage diode thereby providing a current path for the spark gap at a predetermined voltage and simultaneously discharging the capacitor through the spark plug via the spark gap without short-circuiting the spark gap.
