Thanks for the response. Let me explain my thoughts: the Magneto gets it's initial current from a physical magnet mounted on the Magneto Shaft, because the physical magnet is turning the Magnetic Lines of Force (MLof) is Inducing Ac current; initially, lets say the MLof are going thru the Pw...

Let me see if I can simplify my concern: As the drawing clearly indicates, the Pw has 2 Grounds: 1st ground (Direct Ground) is connected directly to (as you say) a common ground; the other Pw ground is thru the Points (Contact Breaker) to a common ground. So the question is when the Points...

Thank you for your reply. Initially without the math so I can be comfortable with the concepts, hopefully. Beginning, this is what I think I understand? To start the Physical Magnet (Pm) on the Mag shaft provides ac current to the primary winding; the PhysicalMagnet's change in the Number of...

Not sure this is the correct forum; if a different forum would be more appropriate please advise: where is there a complete explanation of a magneto starting from the Physical Magnet's AC current thru to the Secondary Winding output. Some of aviation is totally dependent on a magneto and it...
