Sparks Cable

Spark plugs cable currents are not straight flow current as in your torchlight. It conducts via the surface of conductor, and not through the conductor, because of the high frequency of sparking. Since it is high frequency, magnets wont do anything to it. However, ferrites material will. But, what is purpose of ferrite? Ferrite is also called Magic Beads back then. Because it can magically suppress high frequency noises. So, spark plug cable currents are of high frequency. So if you put ferrite on a spark plug cable, it will only suppress/reduce the energy of the sparking. You want your engine misfires? Go ahead.
I noticed someone mentioned Stromberg. Stromberg is totally different concept. What Stromberg does is kinda convert your sparking in ur engine into somewhat similar but not exactly as a Twinspark engine. It prolongs the sparking at each frequency, so that more unburned air/fuel mixture will be burned before the exhaust cycle of the engine.

Burning more unburnt fuel? AFAIK, it give you more improper ignition timing tolerence and longer spark duration. What burns the fuel is not a the electrical spark. It's the product of the spark.

I dono la bro. My guess only. Coz i read about the Twinspark. And read about stromberg also that it convert a single sparking to something like a ringing resonance sparking.. of some sort, hence prolonging it.

Think what Drex means about " product of the sparks " is the quality of the sparks (how powerful or sharp is the sparks produced and the constant rate flow of the sparks) . Correct me if I'm wrong .

A spark, or an arc, is the discharging product of the reaction. In addition to light and heat, ions and radicals are produced.
Instead of what many may believe, that the heat ignites the air/fuel mixture, it's actually the reaction of the free radicals and ions that initiated the oxidation of the fuel, creating a flame front, and the subsequent chain reaction that propagates throughout the combustion chamber.

sifu, can you put it in layman's terms or words....I am kinda confused.

Errmm.. that would be.. "the spark ignited the fuel".
