hey guys,
i was reading a thread on here a while ago where someone needed a continuous/pulsing spark for a jet engine ignitor. i have a similar need (though not for a jet )
i believe one of the suggestions for the poster i'm referring to was to use a 555 timer along with a car ignition coil to create the spark, which seems like a great solution, however, the supply voltage i'm dealing with is 24V. i'm fairly new to the electronics world, and the little bit i've read about 555 timers seems to suggest that they can only handle up to 16V. are there 555 timers that can handle more, or am i misunderstanding the specs i've read? any solutions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
