what is that thing next to the igniton coil and pwm?

I am trying to produce high voltage from an igniton coil with a 12v pwm but i cant get anything to happen, do you have any advice?

That's the parallel stack of 2N3055 transistors that's driving the coil. The circuit was just a simple 555-based design that I found. I used a IRFZ44 MOSFET on the output of the 555 to drive the transistors.

what's the name of the song used?

They were both snippets from a set by DJ Evgeny.

stick your finger in it.

I'll put that on the list of "things not to do!"

Nice, you should put a modulated voice signal into that thing and make it talk. That would be VERY cool.

If there is one thing I'm going to do it is to try this at home.

Cool.

Kool!

I have experimented with the 555 great control of frequency though I found it rather unforgiving initially of high voltages but adequate protection allows and liberates high voltages. Ive made basic transistor PWM's with greater durability,but have yet to engineer the extensive frequency range..

Well done a great video*

Could you controll the freguency by music from an mp3 player or what ever that plays music?

Very nice!

Did you use vdc capacitor, if so, what size? Thats a good arc.

@anderj101 how about your tongue then! only joking - fantastic project!

Make a jacobs ladder with it!

[Landotter1]

Well, youi can tell the resonant frequency of the coil by the output spark thickness.... Very nice demo!!!

40 volt will smoke that coil.
