@UniCrafter 8 ай бұрын

Medhi! The ferrite cores would be saturating, causing the inductance to drop substantially, pushing the circuit out of resonance. After removing the cores it's possible the skin effect is another limiting factor, as well as the obvious limited coupling. Remember the peak currents going through the primary is probably in the hundreds of amps or more, and losses are relative to amps squared, so Litz wire is what I'd suggest. I'd look for a really good dielectric and wrap the primary all the way up. Also with such a small capacitor with the ball bearing on the top, the Q of the circuit I'd expect to be wide, which is good for experimentation, but not great for efficiency.

@ScottsSynthStuff 8 ай бұрын

1:45 the same method is used to trigger xenon strobe tubes in a simple strobe circuit. A capacitor is connected in parallel with a neon tube (in place of the spark gap). Once the capacitor builds up enough voltage (around 70 volts) the neon tube turns on and conducts, sending power through the primary, which induces power in the secondary, which then generates the kilovolts required to fire the xenon tube. Magic!

Hey Mehdi, I think this might work better with polypropylene foil capacitors. Cheaper dielectrics have slight losses and since you're running high currents millions of times a second this could be damping your oscillations. Most ceramic capacitors are especially bad because they also change capacitance with applied voltage, being as far from an ideal capacitor as you can find.

Ferite cores: I know from making speaker crossovers that air coils have a way faster charge and release time than inductors with a core, so removing the ferrite cores would massively reduce the time domain of the coil. Also, maybe having separate ferrite beads means there is a complex inter-circuit inductance thing going on? Like chokes have a gap in the inductor. Just thinkiing aloud, thought I'd mention it! :o)

@pablobriz5102 8 ай бұрын

You could use eGaN FETs as a solid state driver for the magic wand. They are really small, and can operate at freqs over 10 MHz as long as you don't use high voltage on primary winding (les than 500 V). Infineon and GaN Systems makes some reliable transistors. If voltage is under 200V, you could also use EPC GaN power transisitors, they are also pretty fast with great current capabilities. Integrated drivers such as LMG1020 (single output), or LMG1210 (half bridge driver) from Texas instruments can help to drive the circuit

@nielsveenstra3514 8 ай бұрын

You might also be able to increase the inductance by putting more windings on the secondary, so stacking 2 or 3 windings. The capacitance of the coil will also increase, so I'm not sure it will work.

Srry just hearing Infineon made my brain tickle haha

@Manf-ft6zk 7 ай бұрын

Very nice videos all the time. Please just make a raw intuitive 2D sketch of the magnetic field of the primary and see how small the coupling is with the thin secondary. At that point you can make the improvement. A wide secondary and a wider primary around makes a good coupling. The primary needs some distance, so it is wider and it needs distance from the high voltage top so it is at the bottom.
