lol, it was not even fully charged up. 330V 2180uF made using disposable camera capacitors in parallel. I just need to make a better charger and get around to finishing the enclosure I made for it.

  • Alright do u use big gage such as a 24 guage wire or what kind to get high current i get my wire from radioshack amd they have three wires red green and copper

  • @Jhfgsjdcd I think used around 26-28 SWG magnet wire taken from an old CRT TV's de-guessing coil. A video will probably be uploaded by the weekend.

  • Exactly the 2n3055 will provide the small enifficient peak that you need and will charge in secs WARNING dont leave for more than 5 secs or at least look at repetetion rate because a cap will blow in you face!!!

  • @Jhfgsjdcd I have started work on a ZVS based capacitor charger and a homemade secondary coil now, seems to be going well so far and I can get low voltage (1kV and below) and a ton of current out of it.

  • Dude charge your caos with ur flyback use a 2n3055 circuit with one 12 batt

  • @Jhfgsjdcd Voltage will be too high for the bank, plus the 2n3055 is a very inefficient driver anyway.

  • @Alex1M6 :D i like yours too ! :)

  • @a380rockerfan You disappointed haha, well 330v @ 2180uF is enough to make a bang when short circuited but its not really enough voltage to overcome the resistance of the banana. I need a 5kV 50uF capacitor like photonicinduction's for that!

  • Lol I though you were gonna fry the nana!
