2N60 pdf, 2N60 description, 2N60 datasheets, 2N60 view. High Voltage Solid State Flyback Driver. Table of contents: This is by far the best project for someone who is already familiar with High Voltage, but wants to take their experiments to the next level: It requires very little previous experience and skills with soldering and identifying components, and there are virtually no adjustments to be made.

High Voltage Solid State Flyback Driver

The danger is minimal, as fly back transformers are intrinsically low power devices, not capable of outputting lethal currents (due to the hair-thin secondary windings), and yet it will give a careless experimenter a nasty RF burn if he accidentally touches the HV wire (nothing beats learning from your mistakes). If you have never experimented with HV before though, I recommend you start off with an electrostatic project.

This circuit is not a toy! It is also by far the simplest source of High voltage at high frequency. Below you can see the schematic of the circuit: It doesn't get much easier than this! The heart of the circuit is a ferrite-cored flyback transformer. Cares? Make an Ultra Simple High Voltage Generator. I want sparks & I want them NOW! Update May 2003 - Marx Three is now up & running Do you like the idea of tesla coils and other high-voltage sparking stuff, but don't have the time, money or patience to build something that elaborate?

I want sparks & I want them NOW!

Here's a fun little project that can make big, fat, noisy sparks at least 2 inches long, and can be built very quickly and cheaply. The Marx generator consists of an array of resistors, capacitors and spark gaps arranged as follows: The capacitors, C, are charged up in parallel via the 1M (one megohm) resistors, so they each become charged to the input voltage. When first (leftmost) spark gaps breaks down (sparks), the voltage across the next increases, causing it to break down, and so on for all the other gaps.

Rb has a ballasting effect. Component choice I based the component values on what I had available, and there is plenty of scope for experimentation here. An input voltage of about 4-8KV is recommended. Power supply Close of spark gaps and general construction. "Marx Two" Power Supply. How to Modify Laser Pointers. Fingersw. Green Laser Pointer. AA Battery Powered "Tesla Coil" There aren't many parts to this build, and most can easily by scrounged from old TVs and other electronics or be bought for cheap.

AA Battery Powered "Tesla Coil"

The following is needed: Bug zapper racquet: This can be purchased from Ocean State Job Lot for about 5 bucks, and is nifty for fending of mosquitos or high voltage experiments. There are probably other types of devices very similar, but I would recommend finding the racquet pictured to insure the internal circuitry is the same. Flyback transformer: Any flyback transformer will do, though the bigger the better. Don't kill yourself looking for an old non-rectified design, since there are no benefits of it for this circuit. Optional: Additional Capacitors: Should be rated for at least 1.6 KV.

Of course, solder and a soldering iron as well as other general tools are needed, and wire for connecting everything together.
