Lightning in a light bulb

making plasma lightnings in a light bulb with a HV source made of an old tv flyback transformer driven by a 2N3055 silicon tranzistor. there isn't an easyer way to get high voltage then this : 1 transformer easy to get, 1 cheap tranzistor(verry cheap), 2 power rezistors (1-5W each, 27 and 240 ohms) and some wire (2m, must rezist 2-4 amps depending on the power sorce) the scheme is easy to find on internet, also there is an more powerful version with 2 tranzistor, wich is easy too. to keep the trenzistor cool you can use ani pice of aluminium plate (2-5mm thick) or an special radiator for the tranzistor's case, or adapt 1 you have. The power sorce has 14v 6a (uses just 1.8-2.2A). you can use ani transformewr with output between 6 and 32V wich u need to rectify then filtrate with 1 capacitor(the biger the beter, at least 2000uF, an for the traf, i recomad 16-30v :D) the output is not dangerous but it can severe burn what it arks to if it's flesh, so don't touch it! makes halls in the skin!

this is plasma... not lightning

[stalkersas]

lightning is plasma

[helicoptered]

How was that done?

[stalkersas]

put the output of the hv source on top of the bight bulb and touch the socket of the light bulb with a grounded wire.

Ah, I seen some people having fun with transformers from microwaves

[stalkersas]

lol, i can't make the lightning in a bulb with a mot, too low voltage and frequency :) i have also a movie with some arks with a 2.2kv transformer and lots of amps, like 0.8 or around

Kool !

[kjjrys]

@stalkersas i got none of that

[CristianDamianFierro]

Is a Flybak :)

[MrThomassss]

can the "antenna"make streamer without lightbulb,like a teslacoil?

[timmeTheOnly]

The problem with mots is, that the frequency is too low for this as you said. It's possible to do this with an inverter for ccfls (600V, ~100kHz).
