So went to harbor freight and bought a "IGNITION TRAK ENGINE IGNITION TESTER". Its for testing normal spark under pressure, it has a gauge, but not with psi graduations.

Got my setup hooked up to it, put a little pressure on it and..... the needle MOVED when the plasma occured!!!! Displacing the pressure in the tube! To give you a visual aid, the needle was in the middle of the red area, when the plasma occurred it shot the needle to almost the end of the red. It did go back down very shortly after, but it went right back to the start spot. The funny thing is that i was testing the device with a "normal" spark...any pressure in the yellow or higher i can not get any spark at all. It only works in the red for my magneto on the B&S. I think i need a good Accel coil...crank up the power!

Interesting, but FYI, I have the Accel Super Stack coil, can't say it is produced any better results than the others.

I thought Accel coil would have more HV then a mower magneto...

Hi to All.
Once, quite a long time ago (at least a decade ago) I've read an article about reaction of Hydrogen on metals. That article said that some metals BECOME BRITTLE in presence of Hydrogen. 
Thus, if You, Guys want to use Hydrogen as a fuel in regular engines, You should consider this information. Or, using internet and/or other sources, at least check to what degree this information remain true.

True, but I though you had used a regular ignition coil to produce you previous plasma shots that you've shown. Are you talking about a special Accel coil for mower's?

Maybe that's why your ignition tester is producing weird results due to using a magneto instead of ignition coil.

The plasma shot that i used for my forum avatar, is from my design and a magneto form a B&S engine. I made a pickup like Cap70 did and will put it on the engine to trigger a standard ignition coil...then i might not have to spend $40 for a Accel coil.

I agree about the tester might not be suitable for magnetos. But it was only $4
