Singing flyback playing MacGyver theme

Second video about my audio modulated flyback transformer (any improvement in sound quality? yes!). Duty cycle and frequency are adjustable, and I turn these potentiometers near end of clip. Output voltage can be even 30kV.

flybacks can kill ya if u touch wire by accident ????

[Laakkonen1]

Not actually at these power levels.

[mumish13]

IRFP450 mosfet or IRF540?

[Laakkonen1]

IRF540

@bleachworthy Exactly right. I'm an engineer of 41 years in the trade. I knew a fellow engineer who was killed through EHT coming to "greet" him. Yes... there may well only be a few milliamps but the voltage is sufficient to kill if the route through the body is made. It only takes someone who is not aware that they have a weak heart to take a Jolt.

@iva666 If you always assume that it will kill you, you will never make the mistake of accidentally touching it. I've adopted a safety method, if power is connected, one hand MUST be in your pocket. having one hand shocked hurts like a biiiiitch, but if it passes through your heart (both hands) you can, and may die. flybacks aren't toys (although fun) they are dangerous equiptment.

well i'll be damned

[hellsmaw84]

i wonder how all of that would sound with a pop can in place next time

[gastardo]

oot varmaa tarvinnu jonki verra noita edi pulloja tän väsäämisee

[TheDexboy]

Awesome :D

I use SG3525 too, tried with 555 but didn't get the same sound quality.. And IRF840 (same as IRF540 but 8A)

Nice MacGyver
