Control Inside?

@EM

What is the input and output specs of that small circuit?

Can it give high voltage low amperage out?

Sorry for ignorance in EE but can you explain what is "push/pull".

I am thinking of trying this in my ECD.

Seems like a pretty "bright" idea. lol

Hi wattsup,Ã,  these circuits use 2 transistors to oscillate and create high frequency and high voltage (low amps).Ã,   I'll post a diagram soon.Ã,  Ã, I'm not sure if you can find diagrams for these, but I found simular schematics by browsing patents with search therms like, Compact Florescent Ballast Circuits, etc...

The push-pull concept is quite simple.Ã,   One transistor "pulls" the resonating end up to the V+ potential, for half the cycle, and the other transistor "pushes" down to V- (or ground)Ã,   the other half cycle.Ã,   This is also called a half bridge configuration, I believe.

You can resonate TESLA coils with this circuitÃ,   :)Ã,  and TPUsÃ,

This guy who builds some fab Tesla coils
has reverse engineered the circuits of quite a few lamps,
most seem to use mosfets,
you should get an idea of whats going on in most makes

I there an English version of that, sounds useful?

havent found english version of text as yet
but circuits ok to understand basics
