Little Flyback Tesla Coil - Going crazy

[Glucoperon]

schematics please please please. thank you : D

[randomness2101]

That is awesome!

Could you post some schematics?

Thanks

[coolaidkiller101]

whats it feel like?

[Conquistador19]

What are you using as ground? I also have a small flyback powered TC almost finished but im a bit skeptical on grounding the RF ground to a wallwart... :S

[08Kutt]

HOLY OoooOOo

whats the capacitance??? and the secondary size????? perfect!

ZVS flyback driver????

[engelteir]

totally the best flyback tesla i have seen. such big sparks! i am thinking about making a audio modulated tesla and just working out what sort of drivers etc i want to use. yours just gets me even more motivated!

[teslaozone]

@engelteir can you send me a link to the instructions your using to build it? thanks

[engelteir]

@teslaozone hey, i am using a range of different diagrams and making some up myself as i go. using the Mazzilli ZVS fly back driver as the basis, and then a voltage modulation inputted using optical cables to seperate the audio input from any feedback.

[living4game]

hello. I have made a 2n3055 based flyback driver circuit and tesla coul 50 mm diameter with 1 mm copper wire 750 turn with top load tourus. it is about 60 cm hight. but it is not working like this. if I put two end wire of wires then, arc less then the flyback coil output. so what might be the problem?

Best Regards

hi...what an awesome TC !! I am building my first with a flyback as a first stage....

I wanted to ask, will a 555 driven flyback work anywhere near as well as your ZVS ?

[oidium45]

Hello, I have gotten a pretty good zvs circuit setup and a nice old flyback which is producing somewhere around 3 inch beautiful purple/blue arcs. I have been pretty happy with the outcome of the project so far but I have always wanted to setup a tesla coil. Do you have any schematics of your coil? It is pretty impressive for a flyback circuit!

[panzuman]

can you use the tuning on the fly back to eliminate the sound? and also what are the specs. like your driver your cap bank (could i use salt water caps?)

[vivdal]

Hi,

Ive decided to try a steep conical coil and have just built the ZVS driver for it. By tuned I assume you mean with the right capacitor.

Wish me luck.

I will tell you how it proceeds. Thank you.

[vivdal]

Spectacular!!

12 volts input is amazing.

What amperage?

Are you using a charging choke and voltage multiplier?

Inspired by you my little tesla wines and sprays softly at 12V would the addition of this help?

[bmanTCoiler]

Hey,

Thanks for the comments.

no charging chokes or voltage multipliers here, just 12v@10amp DC input into a tuned ZVS driver.

Shoot me a PM, if you need any help.

[coolaidkiller101]

@bmanTCoiler schematic and parts please?

[TeslaNick2]

Awesome performance for a flyback driven coil....

[cheeseboat15]

Amazing coil, but holy shit sis that scare me. I forgot it was on a flyback and had my speakers up.

I think my cat jumped higher than I did lol

[bmanTCoiler]

LOL haha

Flyback Tesla coils shriek like banshees. :) I can imagine what it did to your cat.

[cheeseboat15]

She spazzed. I've seen a video of a cat getting spooked and jumping into a wall.... it happens >_>;;

[bmanTCoiler]

Thanks for the kind words. The spark gap is a standard spark gap. The electrodes are enormous bolts I bought at the hardware store. to ensure decent quenching a high power (very high CFM DC fan is mounted on the plastic tube. It is nothing special standard run off the mil static spark gap.

[zezimashock]

wow, how did you construct the spark gap?

and really nice :P

5 stars

[bmanTCoiler]

Yes, the coil is running off a flyback transformer. It is driven by the Mazilli/ZVS/Royer driver. Input voltage is 12v, power is around 120W.

[noeyeda]

so is this just running off a flyback transformer from a tv?
