Ignition Coil High Voltage circuit home made

[@suz384]

I am actually an electrical engineer! This was very entertaining to watch! FYI on the capacitor, uF = micro-farad. And the dimmer simply adds resistance to the circuit. Dont perform this circuit test on a metal table!!!

7:00 BZZZZT!!!! 🤣😆😂😆🤣 I love doing that when people are working on high voltage stuff.

@@Josefppaz I knew a guy in school that was always makin electronc gizmos that shocked people. He literally turned everyone into Pavlov's dog. After a while, people would avoid him or at minimum, watch where his hands were. He didnt even have to have anything in his hands. He would just walk up to them and say, "BZZZZT" and poke them in the side and they would jump out of their shoes. Theres a term for those kinda people, but I'm trying to keep my youtube account. 😂😂

[@hyzalkeramaral3350]

everyone here seems to be an electrical engineer and despite the bla-bla-bla from some, and the know how of one, i say that, this video is awesome!. thank you buddy>

[@racedriver52]

Very cool, thank you for this video it helped a lot, I could not find anything like this anywhere. What is the purpose of the hose clamp around the spark plug though? does it act as a ground for the ignition coil?

[@noskings]

i was wondering how the dimmer had anything to do with a relay! so is hooking up ac to the capacitor like this ok? neat little trick and saves on a battery!

[@usamasadaqat5339]

what source of electricity you used ? AC or DC? And of what value? I am trying to do the same with 12V DC battery and not getting any spark.

[@Josefppaz]

Electricity used is AC for this experiment you might try a 555 timer circuit for DC

[@usamasadaqat5339]

@@Josefppaz thanks.

[@bikr1975]

is it possible to just connect the capacitor to the spark plug wire to increase to output spark or would you need some kind of timing setup to controll the output spark? i have a moped that i want to increase to spark power like what you see with the KML wires. but i hear, using a high output capacitor would do the trick. is this true? or would i be creating a constant arc instead of the timed spark?

[@aerialwheel3719]

i know yours is an old post, but... there is a capacitor that you might be able to upgrade in CDI (non-points) ignition. it is in front of the high-voltage coil. there should be nothing between your high voltage coil and your spark plug other than a high tension wire and a proper end plug

[@heathhill7802]

If you want to know a little bit more on your hobby ,check out a device that is called (triac) Its basically the beating heart of your circuit .it lay within your dimmer switch .the triac chops the frequency up ;in return makes your coil not saturate . So to all the engineers out there ,I stand corrected it is still @ 60 HZ !

[@heathhill7802]

The dimmer does not act as a relay ,only a resistor. what your doing is using the outlet ,in fact is ac, till you get to the capacitor then acts as a dc source at the coil for 30hz (half of 60 ) the cap used this way is called a bypass filter ! good job , I think i will try it on a ford coil over !

[@tonyvanntruth2969]

Hi, Great Video, Thanks for posting it. Question: Doesn't the dimmer switch have an on/off switch built in? The one I bought does. Mine has more wires than 2 though. Let me know. Thanks, Tony

[@Josefppaz]

ya buddy I believe there was a switch on the dimmer I used. You had to push in the round nob and that would be your on and off

[@arsenioogdar2343]

it is applicable for the four wheels or motorcycle only

[@65ShelbyClone]

That refers to the maximum voltage the coil can produce. It's a pretty safe assumption that if a spark jumps a gap on the coil's high voltage leg, then it didn't produce the full rated voltage. As soon as air in the plug gap ionizes enough for electrons to flow, the coil begins discharging and you get the spark. Maximum voltage doesn't matter as long as the spark jumps when you want it to.

[@tonyvanntruth2969]

Why didn't you just use a spark plug wire from the coil to the spark plug?

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

Great work!!!! Ill put my vid on about my dual ign circuit. You would love it!

Do you have a Filipino family member. We have the same fork and spoon in our house and it’s a Filipino thing so just wondering.

[@Josefppaz]

No my friend i dont have a Filipino family member my mother got them a long time ago not sure from were she liked them and put them on the wall have a great day bud

[@ryanjhi2224]

just remember that wall electricity is ac, which means that + and - changes 60x per second in respect to ground

[@SpeedDeamon95]

awesome video man! i have been wanting to make something like this for s while!

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

For in case u dont know, uf stand for micro farrad, that tells u how much of the voltage it can hold

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

Very true about the dimmer switch, they are kind of like a pwm( sort of) because u can actually change the frequency

[@doreddoredkel8204]

dear circuit electric what condensor value

[@TrustingJesus67]

Ac is alternating current. In a electrical socket where you plug into, the right side is hot and the left slot is neutral. Just to let you know, but otherwise I love your video. Thanks

[@JarrettWilliams99]

was waiting for you to plug it into your bicycle and win the tour de franc

[@Josefppaz]

lol I will give it a try man

[@benjiefigalan6288]

can i use it with my motorcycle ignition system....thanks...

[@Josefppaz]

[@MegaUnceunce]

thankyou for this hopefully this will help

[@mahmouddwedar2005]

i wanna make simple high voltage circuit to eliminates gnats please

[@hamdanalharbi2206]

why didn't u use a spark plug wire? it would saved u the hassle of the kit plus it safer because it can carry more current without overheating.

Your right I just put together what I had around the house

[@nickmuir9276]

a starter coil works off 12 v DC not 120/240V AC so you would blow it up

[@Josefppaz]

+Nick Muir Hi Nick your absolutely right it would blow up if it was directly connected to the house mains. .electrical engineer told me a dimmer simply adds resistance. Now the coil does get warm fast over a period of time, so I just use it in short intervals.

[@lostinspaceelectronics870]

+Josefppaz no it won't it just becomes a huge magnet gets hot and makes very hot arcs it won't blow up I put 440v 50 amps threw it just hotter arcs than a not and these can burn a coil not detonate and explode

[@gauravjaiswal9183]

Can I use 12v dc adapter instead of 130v AC with this circuit?

[@Josefppaz]

I believe you can bud, you just need some sort of light dimmer device for 12vdc im guessing some campers have this

[@lostinspaceelectronics870]

Gaurav Jaiswal i would recommend using a relay and a capacitor that pulses the coil at the rate you want it to look at a video on youtube on relays i recomend a car battery with a car relay it supplies plenty of current

[@lisasimmons3096]

Would this work if the power source was DC?

[@lostinspaceelectronics870]

dc pulsed

may i know the maximal voltage generated from this ignition coil ?

[@rick69va]

That will depend on what spark coil you use. They can range from 10k to 60K+ Volts.

[@haditriwahono8938]

👍

[@digital_harry]

Is this ignition on steroids?

[@firstnamelastname7143]

555 and transistor driver works very well, and won't overheat coil. Will work from battery pack, needing no extension cords. You are connecting parts with no understanding what they are doing or how they work, and apparently no regard for voltage and current ratings. By luck they simply happen to sort of, kind of work, however not likely well, or very long. But hey, it's your parts, money, and life. Best of luck you don't fry yourself or mom's good tupperware.
