Sorry Ole, for I have to stick with Tesla on the ALTERNATING CURRENT.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current
A two stroke outboard motor with magneto running at 3600 RPM has a
commutation rate of 60 Hz same as the AC 60Hz line freq. When I was a
repair technician for 7 years with Outboard Marine Corp, I got to see a
magneto instrumented in a lab with scope leads to enable viewing the
voltage and current traces during the magneto cycle. During the 1st
step, N-S PMs passing poles 1 and 2 of an E frame armature there was
induced a forward current and a positive voltage of up to 450V with a
current trace clearly showing the knee of the BH curve indicating the
saturation of the iron at peak positive induced voltage/current. As Kone
pointed out, this is a short circuited primary winding cause one end of
winding is frame grounded and the other end of winding is grounded via
the closed breaker points. As you pointed out, current does not like
to be stopped and electrons do have inertia so the condenser acts as a
shock absorber to take the current surge at point opening and also
prevent arcing in the breaker. the accumulated charge in the condenser
at circuit opening is up to 450VDC positive. When the breaker points
opened there was a straight down, negative going high magnitude negative
spike off scope scale. Remember that when the breaker points open the
PMs are now inducing a reverse polarity voltage and current into poles 2
and 3 of the E core. I guess that Outboard Marine was correct in using
the E frame coil stator for it produced an excellent and powerful
ignition source. Since then we have graduated to the Capacitive
discharge type of ignition systems.
