Hi folks,
I would like to know how the pickup on a strobe gun works.
Strobe gun = a device you use when setting the ignition timing on (old?) car engines. You place a pickup on the wire to the spark plug, and the strobe flashes everytime a spark is fired.
I would like to know how the pickup can sense the high voltage going through the sparkplug wire - if possible, I would like to make my own.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks.

Futterama
