  • In this video, we'll build a simple Tesla coil using a NE555 timer module, a couple of transistors, and an old TV flyback transformer. We'll learn how to create a high-voltage circuit and safely generate sparks from our Tesla coil.
    Circuit Diagram:
    github.com/BY-HOBBY/Circuits/...
    Materials:
    Frequency Adjustable Pulse Generator Module NE555
    2N2222 Transistor
    BC547 Transistor
    22kΩ Resistor
    Old TV flyback transformer
    Solderless Breadboard
    Some jumper & crocodile pins wires
    Note:
    Always wear safety glasses and gloves when working with high voltage.
    Never touch the live wires or the secondary coil.
    Keep the Tesla coil away from flammable materials.

    I am dying finding that transformer.. where did you get that from sir

      You can get it from old TV or old computer monitor.

    Try slayer exciter, tho im not sure it'd work with good-ish coupling

      yes, its same circuit just added ne555 switching between emitter & ground, checkout the ckt.

      @@byhobby this isn't Slayer exciter (probably), you're driving it in a frequency generated from 555 with a kindof Darlington pair.
      Can you try something?
      Connect the q1 base with a reverse diode to the ground, and emitter to the ground, and let go of the q2?

      For this and other videos? It helps us, the viewers tremendously to better understand the projects

    Thats not a tesla coil💀

    • @byhobby
      @byhobby  7 місяців тому

      yes, but its similar, we can replace the EHT with a big coil, then It will be a pure tesla coil , right?

      ​@@byhobbyno the tesla coil works on resonance, here it's just switching power with the freq of the 555 pulse, that's not how u drive a tesla coil, go watch one of my videos if you are interested in one, a proper Solid state tesla coil isn't that easy to produce.

      ​@@FlammableElectronicsI think circuit shown in this video is generating high voltage at low current, it can be easily converted to a tesla coil with a 2-3 primary and high number of turns of secondary coil,
      The eht also play here a slight role of primary and secondary coil but the area of secondary coil ionising air particles is less, it can be improved by adding long cylindrical secondary coil and a high voltage capacitor.

      ​@@FlammableElectronics well, it's not that hard.
      The hardest part is actually winding the secondary. Use Slayer exciter with around a thousand turns.
      If the insulation holds up, you have a tesla-ish coil
