Hi G.S. I was wondering why didn't you add a capacitor parallel to secondary to resonate with secondary inductance at the same resonance frequency of primary? That would send your secondary voltage through the roof at much smaller primary voltages. So ideally you would need less input power to get the arc. You could then increase the primary number of turns and reduce the primary capacitance for the same frequency. That would likely help with primary/secondary coupling as well, hopefully increasing the efficiency. Maybe I'm missing something. Great work as usual!

@__MINT_ 3 года назад

To create bigger arc with less current, you should use a wire made of many thinner wires. This should lower the skin effect, and higher the density of magnetic fields, so the transformer would be more efficient. I did it, and my lighter creates over 5mm arcs with only 1A at the input.

Enjoyed every minute of this video. 'Great' result. Just salvaged a output transformer from an old CV circuit board. Looks very much like the one you discarded. Unfortunately it totally sealed so I can't rewind it. But I'll still have a go using your circuit. I won't need it to run on batteries so I can go a little crazy.

Why do you need high voltage capacitors if the voltage on the primary side is just around 4 to 6 V?

@Hudsonkem 4 года назад

why you uses 2 mosfets? its better than one? in what? should i put a parallel capacitor in the secondary as mentioned by ElectroBOOM?

@TheRoboticLlama 7 лет назад

Is this relativily safe to touch (besides it probably being very painful) because its not drawing all that much current compared to a real tazer which still isnt lethal (most of the time)

@caiarcosbotias1710 4 года назад

I presume the reason for the second transformer not having a feedback coil was because the inverter was run by PWM produced by a microcontroller regulated by feedback of the output. The Royer oscillator isn't routinely used nowadays.

Hello. Nice project. I was wandering if you could obtain the same arc at the end of a 20 meter long wire . In other words, what is the longest leads that you can use and still have an electric arc. Thanks and keeps up with the tutorials because i for one i learned a lot from you.

@aneukelektro1804 7 лет назад

Hello, I have successfully built an electric light thanks to the tutorials from GreatScott! 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?

@leozendo3500 7 лет назад

You may make a ZVS to drive flyback transformer. It's very easy and does not take much time to troubleshoot. I have made several and most worked. Recommend to build it on a PCB because zenzer diodes burns easily. If circuit does not oscillate or mosfet heats up badly, change gate resistor values depending on input valtage. Must use schottky diodes for Better gate discharge
