Chilliqueen high voltage circuit using camera parts.ASF

This is a replication of Chiilqueen's high voltage inverter circuit that uses electrical component parts removed from a disposable flash camera. The project required careful removal of certain small parts from the printed circuit board. The parts were then reasembled in an open and spread out way to show the individual parts. This is a good learning project. The circuit runs on one 1.5 volt AA battery and will light up a Lights of America 110 volt LED bulb.

Great job! I'm sure it's a great feeling to be able to learn about electronics and at the same time be able to save the planet by recycling.

chilliqueen---- Thank you for all your efforts. This was a fun little project to do and learn from.

whats awesome about this is you can go to CVS and ask them for their used cameras, take them home and make the most crazy things with them. This is a valuable resource!

Thank you Lidmotor for teaching us and Chiliqueen and you know everyone else that is helping.

CosmicGnarler---CVS is where I got the camera also. Just go up and ask them to look in the trash and there is usually one there. This is a great way to recycle these disposable cameras. Now I can get FREE parts! You get a free AA or AAA alkaline in it as a bonus.

You've inspired me to open up my eletronics tacklebox and get to work! Thanks for all the great videos

[Lidmotor]

area46241---I have had great fun doing this and sharing my little adventure into electronics.

what value cap?....also where do you wire the bulb to?....hmmm...cheers man!..

[100roberthenry]

hmmm...how do i know which pins on the transformer are 12345?....ive pulled one apart and removed all parts from the camera pcb...just need to wire em up.... :( i can't seem to find a video which 'completely ' shows everything on how to complete this :(

[mgnelski]

greate job!! have question ,,can i used large capacitor,, and what value can i replace can you give me some tip?

[syd1311]

i did exactly the same which is on your video .but it doesnt work. can you please tell me ,where i went wrong?

[theshillhunter]

Brilliant ! i did the same as you by using a larger resistor, but my 11W low energy bulb flashes & will not light up, would you have any idea why please?

Thanks.
