hey everyone, i am kinda new to all this stuff, and i want to get an ignition coil to work, i have seen the schematics around the internet involving the 555 pulse time which pulses the 3055 timers, and every time i do it, it heats up the 555 timer and only makes a very small and fast spark...can someone help me out, or tell me a good place for a good and easy schematic site?

compare your circuit to the one in the high voltage photo flash capacitor charger topic in the high voltage stuff section it uses an ignition coil driver to . there are 2 versions ones a flyback powerd circuit that charges high voltage capacitors up and the other is an ignition coil version that has the ignition coil driver circuit in it  :)

that first schematic is a chopper circuit, they were used in the first car radios to provide v+ for TUBES, very noisey!
