Thanks, I've seen those, didnt know they were non-pulsed. Appreciate it.

G'day all,

@AbbaRue:  Sometimes there is no need for a HV cap, the picture tube itself acts as a capacitor.
You just have to attatch another lead under the anode sucker. Be careful, they bite.
Good info at JLN labs, thanks.


Best regards

Ian

Hi all You can use this scheme to achieve high voltage: http://www.powerlabs.org/flybackdriver.htm
It's very easy to build and works stable. I made my own of this and it gives about 12kV of DC (I use DC flyback from old monitor which has internal HV diode).

Yeah great. But to be honest, the problem is not finding schematics on how to build one,
the problem is the building itself. My skill at soldering circuitry is not the greatest

I bought a wimhurst machine ($89) which makes sparks according to how far apart the little steel balls are placed.

Mine makes sparks from tiny to about 3.5 inches for a jolt of ~ 75Kv.
It would be easy to keep a good spark pulsing for 10 minutes. It is easy to turn etc.

I was talking with Ian and he suggested that this might work for you guys in this thread. I like it because it is not plugged into the wall so, I won't kill myself. (I got a big jolt the first day so I know I can survive what it puts out.!  )
