Learn how to build your own transformer, and go to Brilliant.org/PlasmaChannel to get started for free! In an attempt to create an improved High Voltage supply, I added a Bluetooth upgrade and a custom high voltage AC flyback, and was blown away by the size of the arcs this thing produced. If you build one of your own, you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Flyback can't be AC Jay, you keep making the mistake. Flyback is the name for the "topology", pulsed DC to pulsed DC... but it's not the only way to get HV DC, you already played with an ignition coil, and that doesn't even have a diode on the output, yet gives DC (if driven right) 1EabqJJnWhc

@sFeral Жыл бұрын
btw it would make more sense (be more efficient) to modulate a Mazilli ZVS when you're using output AC. Look what CoolDudeClem tried, but there are other more successful attempts, just can't recall channel names.
@PlasmaChannel

@@sFeral As long as the spark output by an ignition coil dissipates all energy in the first cycle, it will be DC. In reality, most all ignition coils i've used have a ring on their output. As for flybacks - they are AC by nature. The addition of diodes is what makes them DC, or, an offset secondary balance will also do similar. Any secondary coil that is mid point balanced will output one terminal negative voltage, the other terminal positive. I tested my custom flyback to have an AC output.

I usually use a variant of an astable multivibrator to power my flybacks. It allows me to change the time period for both the on and off states. I started using multivibrators because BJTs can tolerate up to 30 volts, where my 555s burned up at 15 (Under 12 without protection). I also had trouble driving a stable frequency above 21 KHz with the 555. I'm currently working with one that goes from 6 to 60 KHz. I made a mock up of the inside of a microwave magnetron, except without the resonant cavities or emitter. The arc spun around at probably 30 to 40 Hz, so no danger. An idea for a video, but I must warn you, it took a lot of current to overcome the electrostatic confinement from one anode fin and allow it to jump to the next in rotation. Enough to melt the cathode. (I'm guessing about 22 milliamps at 12KV, about 250 watts.) Oh, I also needed an RF filter between my driver and the power rail to compensate for the voltage drops when dumping around 25 amps at 20% duty cycle.

I suggest the plasma filament needs to be in a clear glass vacuum. Plasma does not need oxygen. Plasma is a state of matter that consists of ions, electrons and neutral particles. It can exist in the absence of oxygen and can also exist in a vacuum. That said, in suggesting that, I'm not sure how well the speaker part would function, if at all. However the filament might last longer.

I found very good results using a totem pole driving stage. It worked fine without it, but the 555 kinda struggled to switch the FET hard enough, so I wasnt getting a nice crisp square output. made the fet run hot and limited the amount of current it could put out. a totem pole really improved the output drive waveform under load, ran the FET cooler, and my arcs doubled in thickness and meanness. the only other mod to this unit that made a bigger difference was going from 24v to 100v, which was a MASSIVE redesign for many reasons. you should be able to shoe-horn a few extra transistors on any design without much effort.

@arjovenzia exactly. And if you check the design on the 555, you'll see inside of the output on pin 3 is actually a little mini totempole. So by adding an extra stage, it's like steroids for your pwm lol.

That huff after reading the parts list 👌 Question is there any reason one of these couldn't act as an ultrasonic transducer? I mean if I ran it close to 50khz could I get decent audio from 15-25khz? Or would I be better off rapidly changing impedance on the other input?

If you only want one frequency (and many harmonics of it) It's actually easier than that: The ac from the transformer is already enough to get sound produced by the arc. Note that the arc fires twice as frequent as the drivers frequency, since ac passes zero and reaches a maximum twice per period, becuse of that you'd have to drive the transformer at 15kHz to get 30kHz If you want to have a plasma speaker for ultrasonic waves you indeed need to set the driver to a significantly higher frequency. The theoretically lowest possible would be twice the sound's frequency due to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem (the 555 chip can only change once per period, and thus has a sampling frequency equal to the drive frequency) You may be able to drive a flyback transformer at 100kHz, but for that you will likely require a larger heat sink, changes to the circuit or a totally different circuit, as well as a well picked Mosfet

I would love to hear a musical symphony played by lightnings, like those which appear at thunderstorm. Make a gigantic lightning into an arc. A 2 kilometre-long arc reaching clouds. The bass would be ground-breaking. And then a voice speaks from the sky!!!

When I was a kid I had a future sci-fi story in my head where this type of speaker was the norm. It was also the technology for high speed space flight. weird.

Isn't this essentially older tech like electrostatic headphones? But basically as a cool plasma speaker? 🤔
