How to solder a Capacitor Charger Circuit

Yes i have misspelt Eletronics as 'Electornics', mistake acknowledged, mistake not corrected.

This is a remake of the other video because i got my video camera back so i can film properly, good quality and sound quality is far better so i don't need to shout.

pin no. refers to transformer pins, pin 1 is the one with the thickest wire that is wrapped around the outside and you count up going left around the transformer. If there is no wire around the outside and it is all covered up then just check each leg until you can see a larger wire attached to it, either input leg will accept the base of the transistor it doesn't actually matter, but for the sake of a short-ish explanation video i have given then all defined spots.

Instructions:

Transistor base to pin 1
Transistor emmitter to pin 6
Transistor collector to pin 5
Resistor across pins 2 and 3
+ve input and output on pin 2
-ve input to pin 6
-ve output to pin 4

This circuit is unrectified and you must rectify it to charge a capacitor, either using a diode or a bridge rectifier.

This setup will work on any charger transformers with five useful pins, this one has six pins, the extra pin is good to attach a wire input rather than attaching that to the transistor leg itself, the legs tend to snap off without too much bother.

If you want me to send you the schematic for some reason then i can draw you one and email it to you.

I will make a short video on making the bridge rectifier, and i will try to get documenting my coilgun project build and the parts that go with it, i am an ametuer so it may not be any good but who knows, Chris will help me... Won't you Chris?

Could you send me the schematic?

[ConnorXV]

@ragingfirebird2000 sure

[blueeyesseto]

hi know how to make one to charge say 20 400v caps?

[ConnorXV]

@blueeyesseto yeah sure, just devise a way to connect all 20 capacitors in parallel with eachother, then attach the bridge recitifier positive to the longer leads of all caps then the same but opposite for the other side, get me

?

@MrStemkilla I get all components from camera flash circuits yes! Please watch this video if you have not yet. The transistor ( you said transmitter so I assume you mean the former) switches the.circuit in resonance with the increasing and decreasing magnetic field so yeah, my explanation is quick ( and probably poor ) so go on wikipedia or google it : )

@ragingfirebird2000 just experiment until it works (there should be only two primary pins but there might be three secondary pins) the centre tap is another coil of wire around the transformer which is attached part way along the secondary and it helps to oscillate the circuit using it's own frequency of operation which is different for all sizes of transformer.

@yyhaoyue search hakko 888 get one for christmas or b day dont waiste ur time on radioshack soldering irons they dont heat up very well

[yyhaoyue]

i don't konw how to use a solding ion and i burn the parts up everytime..

[DaVizion59]

if this works i will .. like .. subscribe .do enything for youuu

im going to do that now .. so if that works i said what im gonna do

[tyreza79]

the charging was blocked at 0.08 and then when nothing happens it started flying up to 40dcv; what did you do then ??????????

[MrTigger280]

Could you send me the schematic? Also great video
