      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
      @sFeral Год назад +1

      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
      @PlasmaChannel  Год назад +8

      @@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.

  • @noneedtoknow5315
    @noneedtoknow5315 Год назад

    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.

    • @arjovenzia
      @arjovenzia 6 месяцев назад +1

      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.

    You can get louder volumes and more power using an IRFP450n mosfet. It will require more input power and a bigger heat sink.

    A couple serious(?) questions:
    1. To what is is the hand-held conductor connected? That’s the wire you’re holding making the arc.
    2. So when we’re hearing music while you’re playing music wirelessly the sound is actually coming from the plasma arc?
    Love all your RUclipss. As you can tell from my questions I don’t understand anything you do, but the colors and the crackling sound the plasma makes is really beautiful.

      Honored you enjoyed! Yeah, the thing i'm holding is just the other side of the high voltage output from the transformers. I have a wire attached to the output, then i'm holding that wire (safely), and bringing the wire towards the other high voltage wire.

    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.

    @Speeder84XL Год назад +1

    Very nice!
    But looking at your circuit diagram, I think you should add a LC filter or at least a decupling capacitor before the transformer as well. As it is now, almost all current will be drawn as pulses at the switching frequency, directly from the power supply. That can mess with the regulation circuits of your power supply - which can explain the problems at 5:38. It seems very unlikely to have something to do with the audio signal - the control signal input of a 555 is quite high impedance and you would fry your audio player long before any significant part of the current can take that path.
    The resistors probably helped by just lowered the control signal (audio signal) amplitude and thus keep the frequency and duty cycle variations lower (a more erratic frequency and duty cycle usually causes interference problems to get worse - but the main problem can still be the pulsating input current).

    • @PlasmaChannel
      @PlasmaChannel  Год назад +1

      Thanks for the feedback! You know, I tried (off camera) adding several values of air-cored inductors on the positive path to the transformer. I tried 1uH, 5uH, and 10uH, all with no change what so ever in performance. Though....the 10uH did seem to drop overall current draw (which makes sense). So you think I should try a Decup cap? I appreciate your feedback, greatly.

    • @Speeder84XL
      @Speeder84XL Год назад

      @@PlasmaChannel Yes, but it will do more to add a parallell capacitor from transformer input to ground. Which can supply the pulses needed.
      Every time the MOSFET turns on, it will draw current, which stops once it turns off, while most of the stored energy in the transformer is transferred to the high voltage output (a flyback is like a combination of the inductor in a boost converter and a transformer). Adding an inductor in series before the transformer will just waste energy (since the energy stored in that inductor can not get transferred to the high voltage side - it has to get dissipated in the MOSFET or snubber circuit). The reason the total current dropped with the biggest inductor is probably just because the input pulses got choked - which doesn't help much and you may risk to blow your MOSFET due to the voltage spike when it turns off.
      But a capacitor in parallell, can supply the current in pulses, without the need to travel all the way from the power source (possibly making your cables act like antennas and cause RFI).
      Then adding an inductor between that capacitor and the power supply, will further help filter out any remaining ripple and get a pretty much continuous DC to flow from the power supply. But it's the capacitor that do the main work.

    If I remember correctly if you need the output to be cleaned then the input you run a 555 op amp into a 555 op amp as a negative feedback loop. Though for just power not sure if that's needed.

    Reduce the inlet spacing. Along with that, increase voltage on subsequent stages. This mimics multiple stage compressors on and a jet engine. thats probably a lot more work electrically at least.

  • @hishnikchannel3529
    @hishnikchannel3529 Год назад

    I have a suggestion on how to increase the thrust of a jet engine, my idea is based on the principle of a fanless fan, The thrust of a jet engine is directly dependent on 2 factors, the amount of air it blows out, and the speed at which the gas flow blows out. I want to increase the amount of air, it is known that fanless fans blow 15 times more air than the turbine itself pumps For this, it is necessary to remove the outer housings of the jet engine, and create new housings, according to the principle of a bladeless fan, part of the jet stream must be used to build up pressure inside the new housing, which will throw in a jet air stream at the beginning of the jet engine compressor, in this way it is possible to increase the amount of air in engine, you're supposed to work with a lathe for a bit, and figure out how to force some of the jet into the hulls, but then you get new types of Jet Engines.

  • @WaffleStaffel

    Nice job, thanks for sharing. Now, for the unsolicited advice: Without forced air cooling, you should orient the heatsink to take advantage of convective air flow, or at least avoid obstructing the fins. Maybe drill some holes in the acrylic underneath the fins. Depending on the amount of heat, just having a large surface area can be enough, but it's bad form to block the fins.

    • @PlasmaChannel
      @PlasmaChannel  Год назад +1

      No, it’s true advice. I just care about appearance and form more then function sometimes. It was designed to be a flat surface. So, the heat sink does get very hot after a few minutes… which is good enough for me.

    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?

    • @maeanderdev
      @maeanderdev Год назад

      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
