@ThePizzahero1 Most of the 555's are rated 12 volts so if your power supply is anything more than that, that could be the propblem. If not then you probably need diodes to stop flyback current from the primary coil.
I got mine working today, it shoots a 2.8cm beam of plasma and is scilent but I keep blowing up my mosfets. Is there a special type of mosfet you have to use of will anyone do?
@randomness2101 The first I'm using in this video is IRF840. When you drive a flyback transformer with a MOSFET the one thing you really have to worry about is the Amperage rating of the MOSFET. I've since switched to RFP30N06LE MOSFETs with a rating of 30 Amps and right now I'm working on a 350 Watt 48 Volts dual flyback transformer plasma speaker with a IRFP2907 with a rating of 209 Amps. The other thing you have to worry about is back EMF spikes so you have to use diodes to fix that.
@ptrakk It sounds like that as the heat from the plasma expands, it creates waves in the air that basically carry the sound of the driver it self. Search for plasma speaker for a great example of this.
Awsome circuit mate ;-)

Nice! I got a question. I've already popped 3 555's, could that be fixed by using diodes or what could cause that problem? Thank you!

@ihos501 No, electron gun is what makes CRT TVs and electron microscopes possible.

Hi Gintaras,
....sounds good! What frequency the driver is set?
Would you sent me schematic, ....Thank you!!!

does it sound like that or is that interference?

lol ive been using my psp 5volt 2amp power supply for my blinking leds
i might try my ps2 one instead though

@firedude201234 Make sure you have a crap load of LEDs to blink or you'll see a lot of smoke!

actually it doesnt even get hot ....im running 8.5 volts 5.65 amps no problem
