Am I missing something here? At 6000 eccentric shaft RPM, each rotor pair of coils is firing once per revolution which is 6000 pulses per minute, ( not 12000 ), or 100 pulses per second.

Dean,
What everybody is talking about is the relative number of sparks the coil has to make in the rotary vs. the number of sparks the same coil would make in a V8 Corvette engine at the same RPM. It works out that we are making considerably more sparks due to the way a rotary fires. It still seems that the coils should be capable of the use we put them to, but we want to be SURE for all the obvious reasons!
