Almost eternal lighter 

I've looked at several videos for such projects and this is easily one of the best, because it requires a skilled winding of the coil, along with the fact all the parts probably can be found in the same dead computer. Thanks

Very cool, especially the homemade transformer. The solar charging was a nice touch.

I find boiling the transformer in water for ten minutes is enough to loosen the glue used on the core. With some heat protective gloves you can pull the cores apart while they're still hot.

Most of these videos have useful information despite being fake. But the fact that you put "Almost" in the title and admitted there is no such thing in the video, you got my respect and subscription. Thank you for the great video!

Wow this is genius cause if you are in a survival situation and are like lost in the woods with this lighter you to an extent have an unlimited fire starter, if your lighter goes dead just leave it in the sun and then by night you'll have more fire starter, and if you can start a fire easily, then u won't have to worry about running out of gas as long as you expose the lighter to light once in a while

the pre built transformer mentioned at the end works quite well, but i would point out it can also be had as a kit. look for '15kv arc generator'. they sell both the transformers separately as well as a kit with the transformer and the circuit/components. (though not including the battery and solar cell)

Ahhhh... you can still overcharge a Li-Ion cell with a small current. In such an instance, you should use a protected cell, with a board that cuts off to prevent overcharging and over discharging. You can also use a phone battery, a lot of them feature such protection built in. But dont always assume that this is the case, test to make sure first.

Very detailed, with examples, nice close shots without shaking, enough lighting , drawings etc., Presented well, fantastic work done. I love the entire video by its content and how its made. really really nice job. I appreciate and subscript too.

I was so anxious to build it too, but I was very difficult in wrapping the secondary cable, I have several times failed.

the wrost part of the project is winding 😭😭

Could you use a small joule thief in between battery and solar cell to help keep voltage and current up to charge battery? Also could you use small graphite brushes or lets say, 'Tig welding tungsten electrode as the ark contacts?

I've made only 980 windings. And my ferrite coil was broken in to multiple pieces so I glued it together. And I was out of material. But It worked anyway, just arc light was very small. But how it zaps 0_0. As for experiment I've applied 12 v. I've burn single irfz44n and small arcs appeared around copild everywhere. After replacing irfz44n with new one everything works fine again. The next version will be superior. I hope to have larger arc.

I don't trust that battery, lol. 14500 cells DO NOT have capacities of 2800mAh... more like 850-900mAh max. If that was a 18650, then perhaps the 2800mAh rating would be more realistic.

Well came here because the normal high voltage generators can't handle decent usage, so I decided to make my own one, with a 300A rated mosfet. was thinking about making a fg-ms-driver stepupcoil, a modified slayer exciter cirquit, or a high impedance mechanically switched ignition coil. for the first stepup. most other modules I have used (except for one low voltage +- 1k to 7k volt(possible peaks to 10k)) all blew themselves up like improper factored led's(yes they can explode around rated voltage when it is misfabricated). but things like a plasma driven lawnmower would only work very short before chrashing. do not use plasma to cut gras or other plants, this can permanently damage and quite easly kill the plants, I didn't think of that yet and just thought this is a great knife so it should be able to cut gras. but if that cirquit works with a fet like said, then it is worth a try especially since it generates magic AC which is in many projects very usefull, and it doesn't require to use power from a light cable which is also great.

You should add a TP4056 Charging module

got this working with a IRF 3205 which is basically a much higher amperage version of the one used in the video. however due to the low voltage of the mosfet it might be smart to add a diode to steer most of the negative voltage from the gate pin to ground and to add a diode to the battery to protect it. especially when using it for long therm usage

It's cool to see a woman doing electronic videos. Subscribed.

Yellow is yellow red is red and blue to absolute bits.....💥

Great Video and helpful. I made it successfully. Thanks

Please make another plasma arc video. I see your videos from italy

Please just read up on "Flyback transformers' and emf.

Very cool project, will probably try to make it at some point; though I'd suggest you either use NiMh batteries or add a protection circuit, because Li-ion batteries can get permanently damaged or explode without one. I'll probably go with NiMh cuz their safer and way cheaper

The best way to separate cores is to put it in a tin can with some water and boil it for 20 minutes on the stove. pull it out and gently twist back and forth until it comes apart.

You're English is very good.

Better if you put the switch in series to the feedback winding

great video. detailed description. nice work

Can a micro (JOULE THIEF) be used after the solar cell to boost voltage and current going to the transformer? Thank you for your very fine video's. It's appreciated by me. Knowledge is key to all things and I want to know about all things. Please keep teaching all those willing to learn.

please show how to make a 0-50v 0-3a power supply

mini zvs made out of laptop battery protection circuit mosfets would work great in applications like this

will 1300x series of transistors work? (I have 13005,13007)

I didn't understand make the winding . Please clarify the winding counting...

so it's not lethal?

i didn't quite understand stand the name of the solar panel. what was it again? thank you.

hei... questo e' veramente bello.. bravo !!

How many layers of teflon tape did you wrap around each layer of wire? Ideally, you should wrap around more layers towards the last few layers of wire.

Best but can we use the DVD transformer

Is there any downside in using ordinary transparent tape? Like, could the secondary winding heat so much that melts the tape an ruin the isolation?

there is a video about a car head light { halogen } to undo the solder

what a beautiful narration

can you make any circuit with the transformer with four total coils two primary two secondary i have seen those but they were too complicated could you make any simple one

Can you make a smaller version of this

well im not getting it to work anymore, first try it worked until it break the isolation. after was just failed. always i try to do it, it make a thin sound in the core but it wont make any arc bigger than 0.5mm. i tested my mosfet, its p80nf55, and its working. i even tried with that high transformer from old lcd and it didnt worked. i have no idea why i got it to work 3 times from 23 attempts. im frustrated, you lose alot of hours just to winding the secodary. -_-

Awesome & super informative video. Thank you!

Very nice description.

what solar panel did you use? link?

Hi i have put 5 layers of transparent tape. but my plasma arc is generating inside the transformer. what can i do?

If i want to build this without the solar cell would I still need those diodes?

How does this work sinse transformers only work on AC?

Hi friends, I have successfully built an electric light thanks to the tutorials from Kasyan TV and some videos from the channel on youtube. Because I use secondhand components from other electronic devices, so in my project I use transistor TIP41C, but the problem is heat transistor and require heatsink, of course heatsink require space and affect the shape of lighter. I tried to use K1457 mosfet former power supplay CPU, but it did not work. So how is the solution? Should I use IRFZ44?

what is that black diode in diagram?

From which direction secondary winding should start

Really nice! :)

nice but a thousand winding part would be so difficult, i would pay for a service personnel to wind it for me, it will cost me just the same, I would rather buy new E. lighter but... thanks for sharing nice video

My circuit is not working. And I'm using 3 v battery...

can I replace 1N4733A with schotky's diode 5a 60V? I have all componenets except this one.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! IRF Z44 is getting damaged after 2 seconds of arc, pins are showing shorted connection after damage. I've used heat sink, it doesn't get hot. I've used exact same components. What could be the problem? Why IRFZ44 is failing after only 2 seconds of arc? Do I need to connect diode from gate to source or use a capacitor? TIP41 C is working but it is giving very very tiny arc. How can I troubleshoot this?

Hi...i need your help please.. i have a multi-secondary coil transformer to produce an Arc..but only one side of the transformer at a time produces an arc spark...is there a trick to produce X-shape spark as an Arc lighter with this transformer? please Help...please see the attachment at your facebook page, Thank You.

I did so but somehow it did not work, I used irfz44 and the 220 ohm resistor

I like your videos It's very fun content And useful

This 1x2cm solar panel will need years to gully charge that li on battery.

How many volts are used to create the plasma charge?

try to show the circuit diagram more clearly

how many turns primer&fedback, secondary?? first turns primer? or secondary??

can i use irfz44n?

AWSOME VIDEO!

I made one but i can only get arc upto 2mm not more than that plzzz someone help

Hi, i have a problem here, i get thr arc from the circuit but for some reasons the FET burns up after some use. Im using an 18650 cell to power up the circuit. What might be causing this to happen?

Im New here really enjoying this channel. Thankyou.

the first winding is in one direction and the secondary is winding in the oposite direccion?! (sorry for my english)

Thanks great nice channel video I like this post

vary informative. thank you.

Nice video ...😁👍

Now where's my dark matter?

Can i use p55nf06 mosfet???

where are you got this plastic box ????

Can i use D880 transistor?

My transformer not producing arc please help Can i use 13005 mosfet

What is the transistor name ?

asian woman does electronics, quite rare but enjoy the vids!

I am just watching this video for the high voltage transformer

Can I use small 12-0-12 type transformer?

How many turns of tape does it carry in each insulation?

How many primary and secondary wire rolls

can I use D882 transistor for this arc lighter?

nice explanation👍👍👍

there not show the which type of transistor

Everything is done exactly , don't know why spark is very low?😢 And somebody tell me which that transistor is?? Because mentioned in comment isn't working I think.

Excellent

thanks it work

Can i use D 13007???

can i use FQPF8N60C 600V N-Channel MOSFET

sehr schlechte und unübersichtliche aufzeichnung

Normally I hate these kinds of videos, mostly due to the poor quality or lazy production or horrible dated techno backing track. But good lord, you have shown me the error of my assumptions. True diamond in the rough. I wish more people that did these sorts of videos did them like you. Show the finished product, a few words about what it does and how it works, AND THEN build it. And the amount of detail you go into is superb for this format. Just because i noticed it, and odd american manners on commenting about people's accents be damned, while a little bumpy around the 'ie' 'ei' 'e*e' sounds the way you hit "most" towards the beginning was excellent. Thats not implything there was anything bad with other pronunciations, just something that stuck out and I thought was neat. (I come from a country with one main language, that I can hardly speak properly myself, far be it from me to begrudge anyone whos taken it on as a second or Nth language) Anyways, good stuff, love it, keep it up 😁👍

I've never seen a 14500 lithium Ion battery with more than 900mAh and this battery would most likely be a fake because a 18650 with this value would be of great value

My core's side broke, if i glue the 2 piece together it will work?

I made but it didn't work i used IRFZ44 and 100ohm resistance

My irfz44n gate needs 4v to open :(

Can we use transformer as it is

thank you

Can I use d882 transistor?????
