Hi All,
A couple pics of a new coil I am current building:
Here are a couple key parts:
There are some really cool side covers coming, they are out for CNC engraving at Daniel`s woik. And ofcourse guts and paint job still missing. Guts will be dual triggered BRISG, as subject sayz. Put together all I wonder, does it look like a real nice long stroke V_Twin engine or a high voltage transformer, or do you have me figured?

Well, showing off for Chris is more like him doing us a favor and posting free eye candy :P I'm glad he does
Anyways, from what I can tell, those are actually the secondary formers. You can see at the base of either the ridges are in the process of being sanded down. But you're right, they do look a bit sideways mounted on that hub. Those things look AWESOME! Where did you get those, or what were they used for???

All,
The material for the orange pipes are "Ultra" sewer pipe. The ribs are removed on the lower half for the sake of looking like cylinders on vintage combustion engines like: and of course: It is a concept coil. The secondary coils are fitted inside this shell. I did not make it a 45 deg V-Twin like harley and others, but stuck with the classic european 90 degree V-Twin. Not so much to spite the harley, -it sure has it`s moments but it would make the sparklength too short. And this is about sparks, after all. And not the ones exiting the tailpipes of a maladjusted chopper. ;.)
The whole structure is rotated slightly around the crankshaft axis to simulate the looks of the Ducati: But this was a mistake, really. The "engine mounts" on the one side got flipped, when I welded the plastic bosses into the crankcase, and I didn`t notice it before taking the picture. They will be reversed in due course.

And on a similar note, what happens if the torroid of one coil arcs to the secondary of the other, or the two bases of the secondaries start arcing between each other...
