Learn how to build your own transformer, and go to Brilliant.org/PlasmaChannel to get started for free! In an attempt to create an improved High Voltage supply, I added a Bluetooth upgrade and a custom high voltage AC flyback, and was blown away by the size of the arcs this thing produced. If you build one of your own, you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Flyback can't be AC Jay, you keep making the mistake. Flyback is the name for the "topology", pulsed DC to pulsed DC... but it's not the only way to get HV DC, you already played with an ignition coil, and that doesn't even have a diode on the output, yet gives DC (if driven right) 1EabqJJnWhc

@sFeral Жыл бұрын

btw it would make more sense (be more efficient) to modulate a Mazilli ZVS when you're using output AC. Look what CoolDudeClem tried, but there are other more successful attempts, just can't recall channel names.

@PlasmaChannel Жыл бұрын

@@sFeral As long as the spark output by an ignition coil dissipates all energy in the first cycle, it will be DC. In reality, most all ignition coils i've used have a ring on their output. As for flybacks - they are AC by nature. The addition of diodes is what makes them DC, or, an offset secondary balance will also do similar. Any secondary coil that is mid point balanced will output one terminal negative voltage, the other terminal positive. I tested my custom flyback to have an AC output.

I suggest the plasma filament needs to be in a clear glass vacuum. Plasma does not need oxygen. Plasma is a state of matter that consists of ions, electrons and neutral particles. It can exist in the absence of oxygen and can also exist in a vacuum. That said, in suggesting that, I'm not sure how well the speaker part would function, if at all. However the filament might last longer.

I have a suggestion on how to increase the thrust of a jet engine, my idea is based on the principle of a fanless fan, The thrust of a jet engine is directly dependent on 2 factors, the amount of air it blows out, and the speed at which the gas flow blows out. I want to increase the amount of air, it is known that fanless fans blow 15 times more air than the turbine itself pumps For this, it is necessary to remove the outer housings of the jet engine, and create new housings, according to the principle of a bladeless fan, part of the jet stream must be used to build up pressure inside the new housing, which will throw in a jet air stream at the beginning of the jet engine compressor, in this way it is possible to increase the amount of air in engine, you're supposed to work with a lathe for a bit, and figure out how to force some of the jet into the hulls, but then you get new types of Jet Engines.

I usually use a variant of an astable multivibrator to power my flybacks. It allows me to change the time period for both the on and off states. I started using multivibrators because BJTs can tolerate up to 30 volts, where my 555s burned up at 15 (Under 12 without protection). I also had trouble driving a stable frequency above 21 KHz with the 555. I'm currently working with one that goes from 6 to 60 KHz. I made a mock up of the inside of a microwave magnetron, except without the resonant cavities or emitter. The arc spun around at probably 30 to 40 Hz, so no danger. An idea for a video, but I must warn you, it took a lot of current to overcome the electrostatic confinement from one anode fin and allow it to jump to the next in rotation. Enough to melt the cathode. (I'm guessing about 22 milliamps at 12KV, about 250 watts.) Oh, I also needed an RF filter between my driver and the power rail to compensate for the voltage drops when dumping around 25 amps at 20% duty cycle.

Hi Jay! Great video as usual. I'm surprised the 555 can drive a p260. I'm pretty sure if you add buffer transistors to the output of the 555, you'll get a better output and put less strain on the 555 because they'll carry the current. The mosfet will run better too.

@arjovenzia 8 ай бұрын

I found very good results using a totem pole driving stage. It worked fine without it, but the 555 kinda struggled to switch the FET hard enough, so I wasnt getting a nice crisp square output. made the fet run hot and limited the amount of current it could put out. a totem pole really improved the output drive waveform under load, ran the FET cooler, and my arcs doubled in thickness and meanness. the only other mod to this unit that made a bigger difference was going from 24v to 100v, which was a MASSIVE redesign for many reasons. you should be able to shoe-horn a few extra transistors on any design without much effort.

@johnruscigno5738 8 ай бұрын

Followed the topic from an article about the first tonewheel musical instrument. I guess nobody has been able to make a plasma loudspeaker without gassing himself with ozone poisoning. For me, the thing that stands out here, is the square wave music. Square waves are famously the sound of old skool video games (chips), and typically not desirable for music reproduction. I think you’d find square waves used on certain synthesizer sounds. So my question is if you can try this set up using sine waves.? Cool that you added a Bluetooth, yet also a distraction from the experiment.

Thank you for this. Ive been struggling with this circuit for awhile and many of the other videos on plasma speakers aren't very clear or easy to follow. Quick question, can the neon bulb be replaced with a zener or ultra-fast recovery diode? Thanks again!

Reduce the inlet spacing. Along with that, increase voltage on subsequent stages. This mimics multiple stage compressors on and a jet engine. thats probably a lot more work electrically at least.
