Abstract
An output supply control apparatus controls the supply of an output from an internal combustion engine magneto generator to its loads so as to effectively utilize the magneto generator. The desired ignition energy is obtained by charging a discharge capacitor of a contactless ignition system with a high induced voltage produced upon the rapid interruption of the short-circuit current in the generating coil, and also any other load such as a battery or lamp is energized by the high induced voltage exceeding a predetermined value. A constant voltage supply for the contactless ignition system ignition signal generating circuit is operated by the generating coil output current preceding the interruption. A regulator is included which monitors a lamp load voltage to commutate or transfer an excess output to the battery load and is operable in response to an overvoltage. The positive-going and negative-going half cycle outputs of the generating coil are interrupted and the resulting high induced voltages are used to charge the ignition capacitor and the battery, respectively.
