Hi G.S. I was wondering why didn't you add a capacitor parallel to secondary to resonate with secondary inductance at the same resonance frequency of primary? That would send your secondary voltage through the roof at much smaller primary voltages. So ideally you would need less input power to get the arc. You could then increase the primary number of turns and reduce the primary capacitance for the same frequency. That would likely help with primary/secondary coupling as well, hopefully increasing the efficiency. Maybe I'm missing something. Great work as usual!
+ElectroBOOM Sounds plausible. I might give it a try in the future.
I would love to see a collaboration by you guys. You are both awesome!
Two Gods of electricity met here :O
electroboom Sir I read this in your voice and immediately imagined how lighter would exploded :D
But then it would go BOOM
"Thankfully I had another CCFL inverter from an old monitor laying around."
Naturally... :D
Your videos really motivate me to keep studying.. I can't wait to actually understand what you show in the videos!

To create bigger arc with less current, you should use a wire made of many thinner wires. This should lower the skin effect, and higher the density of magnetic fields, so the transformer would be more efficient. I did it, and my lighter creates over 5mm arcs with only 1A at the input.
I love listening to you talk about technology and watching what you do

Greetings from Brazil and congratulations. Your didactics and projects are great. Thank you for making the videos in English and reaching people from all the world.
I just wanted to say that I love ur videos and u have the best DIY channel u go into very nice detail on all ur projects and you give someone wanting to make one of your DIY projects very nice diagrams and I just wanted to thank you keep up the good work👌
I understand very little of what you say, (not because of the accent) but your videos are very well done sir. Always a pleasure to see whatever it is you are working on.
just want to add you have impeccable straight handwriting and diagram skills....not easy for a left-hander
I used the same sort of circuit in order to create a corona power supply unit for my diploma thesis. I got the idea from V. Mazilli's ZVS circuit. Quite impressed I love your videos.
Happy new year from Quebec Canada GreatScott! Nice project you got there, I do not smoke, but if I did I would certainly build this!
hey! I love your work. it's awesome. And im so glad that I'm early.
What a pretty handwriting!
U have great knowledge and u explained well in short time... that is main fundamental reason behind i watch every video of urs 2 times atleast..
Such a great channel!
Nearly a half Million Subscribers, amazing
Yay, now a really open source Arc Lighter, thx dude!
Awesome work, congratulations!
Man your videos are top notch!
That's neat! Love ur projects :)
hi great scoot keep up the good work you inspired me to start learning about wiring and electronics thank you so much!!
Your drawing is fantastic
Awesome...the best of both hack and build.
HELLO GREAT SCOTT ! I really appreciate your effort to make all these video for us :) thanks !
One question. What course did you take during your college and university years ?
which ossiloscope do you use? it has to be hell expensive
Enjoyed every minute of this video. 'Great' result.
Just salvaged a output transformer from an old CV circuit board. Looks very much like the one you discarded. Unfortunately it totally sealed so I can't rewind it. But I'll still have a go using your circuit. I won't need it to run on batteries so I can go a little crazy.
Cool project, and I was wondering what to do with those old drivers from laptops I demolish when they age out.
I literally got one of those project boxes you used through the post yesterday haha, going to use it for a basic little arduino function generator.
Hello. Nice project. I was wandering if you could obtain the same arc at the end of a 20 meter long wire .
In other words, what is the longest leads that you can use and still have an electric arc.
Thanks and keeps up with the tutorials because i for one i learned a lot from you.
I presume the reason for the second transformer not having a feedback coil was because the inverter was run by PWM produced by a microcontroller regulated by feedback of the output. The Royer oscillator isn't routinely used nowadays.
Grate idea mate - I'm gonna make one
I really like your videos.
i dont understand nothing but still love these Videos:)
iam realy like your presentation for any circuit you did so i want to know which referances ,books you study
Hey Scott, I love your videos. Could you do a video on Wireless Mains Outlet using the ESP8266?
Great video, as always
Cool project.

Do you know 'The Post Apocalyptic Inventor'...you would make a good team 😁👍🏻
what is the best way to protect circul from prying eyes like yours? (if you enclose it in plastic every one can break that plastic and circul is exposed)
i love his work. its awesome.
Why do you need high voltage capacitors if the voltage on the primary side is just around 4 to 6 V?
I didn't know they made touchscreen oscilloscopes. That's awesome!
So i a m trying to understand are the diodes there to prevent high current going back to the source or is there more ?
Can you make an arc lighter speaker using PWM? Would be a great project i think
Hello, I have successfully built an electric light thanks to the tutorials from GreatScott! and some videos from the channel on youtube. Because I use secondhand components from other electronic devices, so in my project I use transistor TIP41C, but the problem is heat transistor and require heatsink, of course heatsink require space and affect the shape of lighter. I tried to use K1457 mosfet former power supplay CPU, but it did not work. So how is the solution? Should I use IRFZ44?
great scott ! a diy arc
I wouldn't put that thing in my pocket though lol Have you thought about using a lipo maybe in 3-s configuration to reach high current at a decent tension? ( the recharging circuit would be external ofc)
Hi Scott! I was wondering if you could ever teach us how to build a decent sized Tesla Coil!
I enjoy your videos immensely. I really want to go back to school so I can understand all the language. What course of study would you recommend? Electrical Engineering or Electronics or something else?
u had a great knowledge bro and awesome explanation.
i like u to make some videos on how to calculate electrical circuits and analysis them and
how to arrange some small components on bread bord
As the frequency is above 2kcycles (skin effect protection) and the current below 5milli amp's (very low risk of electrocution).
In theory > > safe to use?
so, can I use a smaller coil or it's just yours that wasn't well isolated?
if yes, then to which pins do I connect the new primary?
Can i use bjt transistors? Rather than Mosfet? And also, can i use different enamel copper wire size?, instead of 0.85mm? From winding the primary?
Was the high voltage output AC? Cuz then you could Have just used a voltage multiplier/rectifier made from a couple high voltage diodes and capacitors to increase the output voltage without having to get a better lipo battery.
Great Video !! just 1 quick question:
Why does the mosfet turn off; i.e. why does its gate's voltage fall ?
All I can think of is that the primary windings act as an auto-transformer.
Anyone knows?
The caps in the primary and the coil form an LC tank circuit that produces the sine wave on the scope.From there the diodes conduct to turn the mosfet off.
Look up ZVS driver or Mazilli driver
what ampere of that arc current can transformer handle the high voltage current .why ur coil is not burning
I have one question could the lipo battery explode if it's giving an improper current when u charge it?
And I will see you next time !!!! . Love this word lol
you're Hella clever Scott
Great work!
What happens if I bump the button when its in my pocket
Then you don't have to worry about getting anyone pregnant... ;-)
@@RealRuler2112 jesus i can feel the pain
Things will go... nuts
*nutcracker*
What kind of arc does it have to be in order to light paper? For example a stun gun wont light paper but this somehow can.... ?
Great job, thank you.
it's cool you made it but how much do you have in to it
Hey i was wondering how do you know which pin is which on the transformer like output and input? Because i salvaged one myself from a old laptop charger and since it had so many pins i got confused
oh thanks great idea for teaser :D good vid cheers
Very good video I will make this tomorrow .
BadBoyIDM
lol sry i will never do that again sry
:)
Please make a decent amplifier for stereo speakers around 10w. By the way keep up the good work.
Can you create a trans-circuit inside the circuit SQB-422V1.2 used or not
You should do a video on the square wave inverter! That sounds like a really interesting topic
I think he made it in his wireless energy transfer video
why you uses 2 mosfets? its better than one? in what? should i put a parallel capacitor in the secondary as mentioned by ElectroBOOM?
Ever thought of making a Lichtenberg machine?
Great video and informative, thank you. I presume a lighter using resistance wire (nichrome) would require fewer components and wouldn't need the high voltage. Would one still be able to use a lipo battery in this case?
It would need even more current, and create lower temperatures, and also would be more damaging in case you touched it (the high frequency arcs burn only the surface of the skin, while the resistive wire can go deeper)
@@__MINT_ Thanks
can you teach us. how to make a microphone pre amp.
Cool idea
GreatScott is best
Why u didn't use voltage multiplier with nano capacitors and diodes
Please make a video on stun gun project with their circuit diagram and components illustrate on it
Make that arc lighter form old mosquito sweater I just remove capacitor I made some arc but not power full enough to burn paper.What just I do to burn paper?
Does the efficiency of transformer fall with so little windings? The magnetic field is surely smaller...
please tell me how to bypass the protection circuit on the tp4056,
i am creating a portable bluetooth speaker using li-ion batteries and a 12v bluetooth apmplifier but each time i turn it on the tp4056 protection kicks in,
+GreatScott! Please make a video on how to make circuits on a perf board.
can you make a video where you show a soldering gas iron
your video is so fantastic :D
nice sir
You can sort of drive a ccfl transformer with a qx5252f
No arcs are created, but a high voltage is present
that great man! complete diagram.
Is it dangerous to put the - of the battery and the out - of the TP4056 together ?
Is this the only way to reach more than 1 A ?
thanks
is this a ZVS (zero voltage switching) circuit?
Isn't a Cockroft Walton multiplier with a capacitor better in this case?
Is it possible to use another resonance circuit using those high power npn transistors out of computer power supply? Because I dont have MOSFETS... :(
Isn't the high voltage not gonna melt the case cause the wires are bare after heavy use?
More of this please :))
Can you do a homemade CNC Laser cutter ? Could be cool !
You may make a ZVS to drive flyback transformer. It's very easy and does not take much time to troubleshoot. I have made several and most worked. Recommend to build it on a PCB because zenzer diodes burns easily. If circuit does not oscillate or mosfet heats up badly, change gate resistor values depending on input valtage. Must use schottky diodes for Better gate discharge
Is the resistance low enough at the wire endpoints to avoid melting of the plastic housing over time?
I think so
Will it work if arc as induction heat?
Could you "buffer" the battery with a supercap or something?
