Pese,

Yes, thanks for your council. My visits here are becoming more infrequent with development of the engine, test rig, circuit, and high voltage multi-tasking switch, (don't even ask) etc.
The circuit mod. with the V-doubler has increased explosive compression.  @ 30PSI to around 35PSI. I will try with less resistance on the booster side and SS electrodes.

I managed to blow my booster diode chain (7 X 1N5408's)  270uf 400V + doubler was fine. I added 3 x 100uf 400V caps and they died. Using a 12 diode chain now, it's fine but no pressure tests yet.

X-box.

Any idea, why I can't reproduce your explosive compression? Trying to remove variables here. Are you using an automotive HT (high voltage) lead or is it a solid core? Is my 100 ohm resistor too much? Any ideas?   

Rgds.

You need a much longer string of diodes. I've been using two strings of 25 1N5408 in parallel. But each string of 25 seems to handle the massive power we are applying to the plugs. Explosive compression can only be found at levels of energy higher than 3 joules. We found this through trial and error. You cant immerse a plug in water and get it to fire on less than 5 joules, or so it seems through our experiments.

Like Luc said though, the higher voltages help so that you may get away with lower energy levels for the same effect by raising the voltage level but lowering capacitance. Luc's got a great system of running a variac into a microwave transformer. That was a great idea because it semi-isolates the variac and allow a major wide range of voltage levels.

Yeah I realised this, and generating 5+ joules for every spark at 3000 RPM is not gonna be easy.

Hi Gotoluc,

Sorry about the intrusion but your thread was interesting as you seem to be trying out with  'spark plugs' high voltage etc, to get a 'good ' spark.
Is this what you want for  the engine to 'burn all the fuel' or are you tyring to produce a 'plasma arc' ?
A spark after all is 'plasma' the same as the lighting, it ionises the air making it easier for an arc or spark to travel in.   But there are other ways to produce ' plasma arc', I have had a thread running in another forum just on this, and some that have read that thread may still be wondering when it will happen.
If you use a high voltage by the way of the ht coil of  a car.
I have used a modified 'jacobs ladder' circuit to switch the input side at 140 to 150hz at about 120v on the 12volt input, but do not let the pulses fall any lower. There were some protective diodes across the switching transistor.
With this you do not need any  gap just break off the small outer electrode, I have had a spark over 1" 1/2 long from this, with a plug it just arcs all over. 
I should then if  I wanted to continue on this, start a new thread.

Could you point us to the thread you speak of,  so that we may see your ideas?  Maybe up load a diagram of your circuit?

Thanks,
