Neat video, interesting to look at and easy to follow. I know people say the Model T is simple, but I would challenge any of them to come up with and actually make a working substitute using only the knowledge in their head.
Starting the Model T can be challenging, but _DRIVING_ one is an Olympic sport for the uninitiated! It is WAY more driver-intense than modern cars. But the beauty is that they are super easy to work on and surprisingly rugged.
Back in the 70’s you could buy an old vibrator coil for a few dollars. They made a great high voltage source for a Christmas present. Who else built one? We used 3 rolls of rubber tape on it because it might get tossed when you handed it off and pressed the button. Lol
Sounds like some of the equipment that the Air Force had. They had powered ground equipment and some of the machines had igniters similar to what you're describing.
I was wondering how does the magneto system in Ford Model T dont shock the driver it is ac current right? And what about the baterry why it does not get flown up be over chargeing it???
