Ignition Magneto

An ignition magneto is a type of ignition system used in internal combustion engines. It is responsible for generating the high voltage needed to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber.

The ignition magneto consists of a rotating magnet, called the rotor, and a stationary coil, called the stator. As the rotor spins, it creates a magnetic field that induces a high voltage in the stator coil. This high voltage is then sent to the spark plugs, where it creates a spark to ignite the fuel.

Ignition magnetos are commonly used in small engines, such as those found in lawnmowers, chainsaws, and small aircraft. They are known for their reliability and ability to generate a strong spark even at low engine speeds.

It's important to note that ignition magnetos are different from traditional ignition systems that rely on a battery and coil. Magneto systems are self-contained and do not require an external power source, making them ideal for applications where a battery may not be available or reliable.
