This means that the primary had many more windings then this. The reason for this, in my mind: The sense coil was external, so I could see that it was in the realm of 20-30 windings. Clearly this was a successful trial run, but most assuredly not a successful Jacob's Ladder. But after the transistor was replaced, limited success was mine! I was awarded with a measly. I burned up my first transistor, as I failed to identify the correct polarity on the primary. Not having any 2n3055 transistors, I made use of some surplus 2n3773 transistors.Īfter identifying the sense coil, primary coil, and HV pin, I fired the driver up using a 12v Car battery charger.

I began by ripping the flyback drivers out of a CRT Monitor, and a small 20" tv. At the start of the project, based off the circuit diagrams, available knowledge, etc this seemed a simple and relatively straightforward proposition. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.įor the past month I have been messing around with flyback drivers, the ultimate goal being a DIY Jacob's Ladder.
