direct trailing ignition

ok just thinking, probably worst idea ever....meh oh well.

why not fire both trailing and leading at the same time and then fire trailing also at the normal time? not sure if this is even possible just throwing it out there for you guys to wonder about.

my reaon: when the trailing fires normally its already past TDC if you will. so why not fire it earlier to help with combustion then once again at the normal time to finish off the rest like it normally does.

no clue how to wire it up i'll think about it today and see if i can't think of something.

i know someone out there will be able to come up with the answer

10 degrees, and if you fire them at the same time, it'll try to push the E-shaft into the intake and exhaust ports. you want to direct the fire towards the bottom to push the rotor around, not to the side.
