DIY High Voltage AC Power Supply

[@Qwertyoneify]

I built one myself a while ago, with a capacitor from a microwave. Mine would throw out 30kv or so.
Very dangerous, and amazing. Good video!

[@ludicscience]

+Nathan Boody Thanks!

[@physicsandmathemathicssimp833]

i'd rather just use the microwave transformer then and add 2 capacitors in series to make it resonance . much better cuz high current and voltage . maybe even add a ballast

how would I build a really badass fence from one or more microwave transformers? they output 2kV AC anyway, dont they? and I dont need pulse. i want "touch & drop" perimeter defence style version...?

Can I use 220v instead 110v to the ignition coil?

[@GERCAS1128]

Thanks bro! I've been looking for this informative video for too long, it's simple and easy to understand.

[@leblancmeneses3650]

How about using a 120 volt to 12 volt transformer with just an on off switch? That would give me a 60 cycle pulse out of the ignition coil but is there something I am not considering I dont want to give my dogs a permanent smile. Should I use some kind of resistor to limit the current?

[@EstjwabCom]

this week I'll start doing one maybe with dual ignition coil, hope 1.5uf (630v) with 240vac mains will work.
can't find 1uf or less around me.
next week I'll get an oven.
my goal comparing emp effect and distance from magnetron and high voltage.

[@aannttoniopereira]

is it possible to generate low voltage wih high frequency? 1.2 volts above 3 mega hertz, is it possible for an inverter?

[@eminusipi]

Nice job. I think that your warning implies that it's only the high voltage that is dangerous. Any part of this circuit is capable of delivering a fatal shock with direct contact, primary or HV winding. At least 90ma on the primary and very close to that on the secondary on direct contact.

[@ludicscience]

+eminusipi That´s correct.

I thought that the breakdown voltage for air is 30kV and that ignition coils are around 15-20kV, which would make sense with your 5mm arc length ?

[@lopezstallon8449]

why do we need the dimmer?

[@ludicscience]

in order to chop the ac current and fed the coil with that kind of waveform

[@vit8250]

I want to do this to a furnace that currently has a silicone nitride hot surface igniter. This should ignite the natural gas more reliably. What do you think?

[@kickcast7995]

Hi Ludic Science, I am building a rat zapper that will utilizing your schematic and adding a PIR sensor switch at the 220V source plus an MCB as fuse. One question, If NEGATIVE coil terminal and the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal successfully zap a rat and the rat will stay there, do you thing the MCB fuse will trip down (due to shortage in the circuit)?
I want the circuit to be automatically ON when PIR sensor catch a move, so it can zap multiple time per setup.
Currently I am using mosquito zapper part to electrify the zapper, but I need to use 220v to 3.7V DC stepdown and currently it works great with small mouse. I want to build a little bigger zapper that will kill bigger rodent for continuous use. The circuit is use in our own property with enough security inside a barn.

Mr. Ludic can we use the same circuit to power a flyback instead of the ignition coil?. Great video, Thumbs Up.

[@DavidJordanGeek]

Most cars run at 12V. Putting 120v @ 60Hz or 240v 13 amps @50 Hz as we have in Europe straight into an ignition coil sounds like a Bad Idea(tm) resulting in lots of magic smoke and possibly death. It would be much safer and efficient to drive this thing with a bench power supply or a car battery modulated to a few KHz. It only takes a few component which can be salvaged from scrap TVs

[@user-sl5xw9wf1x]

Hi Ludic
Would I get away with 20kv capacitors for the multiplier?.

[@TechnoW1zard]

Is the output from the ignition coil the same 50 or 60 Hz as the AC power from the output? Or at a different frequency depending on the coil and capacitor, or dimmer?

[@ludicscience]

+TechnoWizard Same as line frequency

[@lopezstallon8449]

i made with a motorcycle ignition coil and a ceiling fan regulator... but the Arc is small.... may i know why? ....i saw another video and the spark was a little bit bigger there

[@ludicscience]

ceiling fan regulator may be the culprit

[@lopezstallon8449]

+Ludic Science may i know why?

[@ludicscience]

This circuit needs an SCR, that comes inside the dimmer, maybe your fan regulator uses other type of circuit.

[@Zeemofree]

Ludic is it possible to power a slayer exciter with two electric motors? One spins the other to create an AC current that drives a primary coil?

[@danburch9989]

I'm going to try this with a 10 amp diode in series with the secondary of a 120vac to 12vac/10 amp transformer to turn the AC into 60 Hz pulsed DC. Polarity of the diode doesn't matter. At least try it to see if the diode blows. Coils like this are designed to operate with pulsing DC.

[@jakefriesenjake]

Depending on how long you use it probably. Just make a heavy duty ac to DC rectifier if you think it would be better

[@melplishka5978]

Nice one. How hot did the coil get lol. Not really made for 120 acv mains.

[@revscott58]

Doesn't the capacitor give the coil resonance at some high frequency, well above 50/60 hz.? Is anyone sure this circuit is still firing the coil secondary at 50 or 60hz.?

[@vptech9861]

Anyway when the ignition coil operates in its normal conditions it operates in switched mode. So self induction generates about 100V at the primary. The problem here may be the heavy operating duty cycle (so the high average power) more than the voltage amplitude.
