[@PlasmaChannel]

PLEASE NOTE: 1) The high voltage ground is found by slowly bringing the high voltage out near the pins. One will heavily arc to the HV out - that is the ground. 2) When using resistance to find your two coils, regardless of what I showed in my video - primary and feedback coils will both have very low resistance.

Hi Blueprint

[@noelandrew3600]

I finally found the exact same flyback transformer, and was able to salvage a bit more from the tv, so will be working on building up one of these HV supplies in the near future

[@dash8brj]

I remember building a circuit similar to this. Much bigger FBT and arcs. Be very careful around this circuit as it can give you nasty burns from the arc. They take some time to heal too. The best way to draw arcs is to terminate the HV Ground to an insulated philips screwdriver. Then draw it close to the HV Hot and the pointed end of the screwdriver makes a great breakout for the arc to form.

[@BlueprintScience]

You can also wind your own primary coil around the iron loop to get hundreds of Watts out of it

[@noorazmi2329]

Ant: Handheld size for human. House size for me. Dang.

I built a similar circuit only using 2 transistors. The circuit you have needs a resistor on the emitter to prevent thermal runaway. to prevent arcing you should use a shield to protect the rest of the circuit. Also high voltage putty helps.

[@urnoob5528]

smh mate thats literally the simplest fixed bias switching circuit at this point just add emitter resistor to every switching circuit why do u think fixed bias exist, why not just make everything emitter bias smh no u dont add resistor to prevent thermal runaway, u use the damn heatsink, there is literally only 1 transistor there also dont make shit harder for urself, u have urself to blame for overcomplicating shit when the flyback transformer work no more because of that resistor

Would be nice if you could show us the amps and volts reading before and after “multiplication” so we can compare.

[@srb1020]

Awsome vid as always but you should have put a capacitor (matching with the frequency of the transformer) so they would oscillate and also to remove the dc going trough the primary to get longer arcs due to resonance and im not sure but i think that would also help to heat up the transistor much slower

[@BD0981]

[@PlasmaChannel]

Hi Jes. I’m a one man show. I do it all. Glad you enjoyed!

[@davidh.4649]

Nice! This is basically a souped up version of the small plasma lighter circuit. The output voltage is high frequency high voltage AC because of the self-oscillation of the primary side caused by interaction between the feedback winding and the transistor. The output would be suitable for presenting to the input of a voltage multiplier to get very high voltage DC at the top of the multiplier. Edited to add, it appears that flyback transformers like the one used for this project have rectifier diodes in the secondary so the output would be DC and so NOT suitable for voltage multiplier projects. You want the output to be high frequency AC to feed into a voltage multiplier.

[@therealjammit]

-Instead of trying to use the feedback and primary that's built in to the flyback, there's enough room on the ferrite core to wind a five turn primary and five turn feedback. The only thing you need to find on the flyback is the ground pin (easy enough if you removed it from a piece of equipment and can find ground on the original circuit).- Edit: I should have read the comments first before posting this.

[@theeasyguy9026]

Thanks I built a tesla coil using this power supply for my school project.. Thank you soo much

[@gaetagriffinmt]

Just found this channel! Great video!

[@Zenodilodon]

Another trick for using any flyback easily found is to also wind another coil on the other side of the ferrite core. There is usually enough space to fit one in though you have to figure out what the optimal gauge and turns ratio for your transistor current and voltage range. This is a trick I used to do before I got into over driving potted and rewound CCFL transformers from older big screen TVs.

[@estebanchristinogallardo5991]

Are you using batteries as your power source ??

[@BulletProofCupid7]

@@estebanchristinogallardo5991 Nope. I have a 12V PSU, probably for some old type of laptop. I bought a proper connector and soldered it to the perfboard. Anyway if you wanna do this project yourself it would be a good practice to limit the current on the primary as much as possible. I used Jay's circuit and after maybe 1 hour of playing around my primary overheated and shorted out. Now I'm out of flyback transformers :C

[@BulletProofCupid7]

It probably happened because Jay's transformer worked fine on current limited by this 240Ohm resistance or I just overdone it and maybe you shouldn't keep the circuit running for too long.

[@milestoitaly]

Great project, but is if OK to neglect the polarity of the primary coil (with respect to the feedback coil)? Also, why not find the output ground pin by resistance as well? Though it should be considerably higher than the two input resistances. Anyway, neat project, and any reference or another video as to how the oscillator works would be appreciated.
