9VDC to 4000VAC

the action shots of my NE555N timer circut.
the transformer is nothing more that a 240Volt to 12Volt.

^_^ the transistor could be better than the TIP31C i used but its what i had to hand.

Anyway go to my site where I have released a new design built off the back of this.

daves-tech.homedns.org

I will not be posting a video of my new version due to the laws in UK.

Your incorrect 1k volt equals 1mm in normal air.

try running a xenon tube with that, I bet you would see some neat plasma trails running through it..

The one thing though, at 4000V, it seems like the current would be in µA, not milliamps

[TechAmalgamator]

It outputs about 2A at 230-260v and about 1mA at 3700V.

But since this video the transformer has died due to the isolation was never meant to see over 300vac.

so you make a sine signal with an NE555 and amplify it with the transistor? cool!

if you use a schmitt-trigger instead of the NE555 and put an audio signal at the input you should have a singing arc, shouldn´t you?

[TechAmalgamator]

Maybe but this still runs a such a low Hz that is would sound like a first model gameboy being hit with a hammer.

Are u sure it's 4KVac? It should have a 3-cm arc at least.

[markjparr]

would love schematics please.

[iamfire100]

is it possible to make one that would fit into a 14.5 x 5.5 .1.5cm space? and would it be very hard?

[ItAintEzyBeinCh33zy]

Could you send me the schematics for the circuit? I need them because I want to do this for a science fair project.

electro destruction music? would love to hear that, make one or scrawl me a diagram?!
