A very simple 555 timer driver circuit powering an old ignition coil with some great results. The schematic and PCB were both found on the Chemelec website (chemelec.com/Pr.... I used the toner transfer method to create the PCB and ordered the parts needed to make it. It was a very simple circuit to put together, and really puts out some incredible sparks!
