Another thought provoker, 140-160

All car type ingnition coils are step up transformers. How do you figure one kind is a storage device?
The resistor is on the primary circuit. The spark comes from the secondary. How does that protect anything? The spark isn't a "short" because it is going to ground just like it should.
Why can't a transistor switch produce multiple sparks? It does at 8000 RPM for a V-8, why not a few more on a four banger?
Maybe your electronics background is house wiring?
