I finally found a flyback to replace the ignition coil!
The spark consumes 60W.
The circuit is still the same as in the first movies.
The sound is produced by the ark!

Song:
Show me the way Peter Frampton

Ik heb eindelijk een flyback gevonden!
Dus kan de bromfiets bobine weer weg. De nieuwe setup is nouwelijks veranderd ten op zichte van de 1ste plasma speaker. Alleen lust deze iets meer vermogen (60W).
De muziek die je hoort wordt gemaakt door de vonk/licht boog die je ziet!

Liedje:
Show me the way Peter Frampton

  • Do these have good quality sound comming from them? like are they worth the build for actual use for a speaker? or just to look cool, and to prove a point? :p

  • @nelsonmachupa

    They are definitely cool!

    It is difficult to build one that is actual good enough to use as a speaker. These types of speakers are theoretically the best tweeters in the world. If you get it right that is.

    And of course there is another problem for long-term use. The small ozone production is unwelcome by-product

  • what happens to the sound if you move the terminals closer together?  Is there any variation?

  • @cjellwood

    Yes there is. The sound level decreases (because you vibrate less air).

  • Can you post the schematic for the driver circuit you used for your flyback.

    Thanks

  • Look at my other movie "First working plasma speaker". There you will find a link to the schematic. It is a very simple 555 circuit. The sound quality is low.

  • Nice job, I went cheap and did a 555 audio flyback ark. It sounds as good as my ipod headphones do, very rich quality

    Sadly cameras don't capture this quality good :(

  • Haha thnx. There is a better one coming up. But it will take some time to build and understand it.

    I'm Franky on the HV forum.

  • Nice, FYI I'm Killa-X on HV forums xD

  • Wonderful! Good job, and I'm sorry to hear about your nearly-deceased flyback...
