Flyback Transformer CFL Driver

[ChrisKarr]

Lidmotor,

Did you realize that you can use the driver from the CFL to drive the flyback It works like a charm. The only problem is that, sometimes, they have protection circuits so you have to take two of the leads and connect them to a resistor.

ChrisKarr-- Thanks for the tip about using the CFL driver to run the flyback. I have several drivers that I can try that out on.

Wow. 2:04

He invented this for the Tesler coil.

a cfl allready drives at high frequency without the need for an external circuit

prorotype9000----Sorry I must not have stated it in the video that this bulb has no guts. It was stripped of the electronic cirrcuit that drove it originally. It's just the tube.

ok sorry i wasnt really paying attention but nice work anyways

Finally something socially redeeming from a tv set.. WooHoo!!

lol, thank you for the warning. I have made flyback circuit before. i have to put it back together and upload a video for you.

nice cap,

that should be a video by itself, you could add it to m3sca1 HV cap video....

have youtested MF on the cap.how muck voltage canit store

[jehovahgodofgaps]

you should add some warnings for people who don't know how bad flybacks bite maybe?

[Lidmotor]

A flyback transformer produces high voltage and should be used carefully. Shocks are not fun. These transformers can be dangerous if handled improperly.
