GBluer(Slayer) Exiter

[WilbyInebriated]

i know a few people have used water with their exciters. has anyone ever tried a larger amount than a glass? like a lake?

Wilby:

Great question.

yes, the body of water i was using had approximately an 18 inch layer of ice on it.

i made a slayer simple exciter with a coreless flyback coil

the battery has 1 volt in it and it is 127 ma's..
neat project

@robbie (kooler):

I ordered some surplus fly back transformers, therefore I am very interested in your circuit. I like the idea to light a CFL from an AAA battery. It always catches the attention of onlookers.

It is almost impossible to reconstruct your circuit from the video. I would like to ask you to post a photo of a simple hand drawing of your circuit (schematics).

Great idea to remove the core of the HV-transformer, that increases the frequency and the step up rate still seems to be good enough. Do you hear any singing or screeching when your circuit is on?

I also saw that the spiral type CFLs are specially good for such experiments (they seem to ignite easier than the U-shaped tubes). But they are difficult to find in the stores nowadays, they where more common when the CFL-area began a few years ago.
