Ignition Coil pulsed by Neo magnet

[jasonspinmaster]

what are the best caps to us in a tesla coil ? and are they AC or DC current

[bleachworthy]

I took same size wire, and added a tiny coil just before the contact with the magnet, this greatly improved actual resonance

[powermaks]

what are neo magnets, you mean those rare earth magnets -"neodymium magnets"

[jasonspinmaster]

will you short the curcuit if the wires are joined at the top???

[abo43446le]

wat r them caps in yhe backround out of

[gotoluc]

@abo43446le

picked them up on ebay from the US for $10. ea. 3900uF 400v. I use then on some of my experiments.

I'm not sure what exactly neo magnet has to do with all that stuff, but it will demagnetize very shortly - that's firm. Another thing - ignition coil is good for sparks up to 1.25" by itself, all you need is a good driver. have fun though... may be someone will discover new law of physics :)

HMMMMMMM..... ?????

[prototype9000]

i wonder what would happen with some cat-whiskers on some iron pyrite thats a semiconductor

[MisterApol]

Very interesting! Will this work with other types of strong magnets (I have some ceramic magnets salvaged from microwave oven magnetrons)?

[gotoluc]

Neo magnets have a conductive surface on them. Ceramics don't, but you can try a piece of thin conductive sheet metal on the magnet and see if it start an oscillation.

Thanks for looking octelcogopod and posting your comment.

This is pretty clever! You can use a similar method to charge capacitors. Usually it's done with a boost converter, but this is basically the same thing except using mechanical oscillation instead of a 555 timer IC. Have fun and don't get zapped! :)

Hi, gotoluc, when you touch the copper wire to the magnet does the copper wire or magnet get any burn spots on them. if you used a 555 timer or PWM would you get the same spark.

thank you

[gotoluc]

Hi evolution2015,

thanks for looking, They do start to burn a little if you try to push more current through it by applying more pressure.

Yes you can use a 555 chip, resistors, a pot, caps and a transistor to do the same thing but now you used over 6 different components not counting the quantity of each to do what I can do with 1 very small magnet. This is what I'm demonstrating here. It's just fun and interesting to see.

Hi, that`s very interesting. did you ever try to build the pwm from Stan Meyer.

i would like to build it but i can`t find these capacitors, maybe you can help me. these are the capacitors i need.

100mf 16v electrolytic

47mf 16v electrolytic

10mf 16v electrolytic

1mf 16v electrolytic

220nf 0.22 mf ceramic or polyester

100nf 0.1 mf ceramic or polyester

10nf 0.01 mf ceramic or polyester

thank you

[gotoluc]

You should be able to get those at most electronic component stores or Digikey online.

The mf value is important, the voltage rating can be more but not less.

[evolution2015]

Hi, i think i already tried digikey, moser and jameco and they do not come up in the search.

i guess i`ll keep looking.

thank you.

@evolution2015 just thought I would post that you will find more elctronics in the dumpsters of apt blgs @the end of the mont or just after the first thats when people move and discard un wanted electronics, I have and continue to pick up un wanted Microwaves TV's and the like. Now I very rarley give my $ to the suppliers except for solder Ic's pots and the like and if you buy on-line,,"AVNET " is the best price I think

[gotoluc]

It may! but that is not what I am demonstrating. You would need to read the topic where all the information is posted to maybe understand. The link is in the description box.

so this could enhance a spark gap on an older model motorcycle to acheive better combustion?
