12v-36V Zero Voltage Switching(ZVS) Tesla Coil Flyback Driver Circuit for SGTC Marx Generator/Jacob's Ladder + Ignition Coil

The media could not be loaded. Testing this ZVS and Flyback I am impressed and it does exactly what is stated and it does it well. At first I couldn't get it working with my varible DC Lab Power Supply, but I figured it out.If using a varible power supply to power it, if its not working, try plugging in only the positive cable to the power supply and then set the voltage above 12 - 16 Volts. Only then attach the negative cable when turned on. You may be able to set the variable power supply to over 12 volts and then turn off and attach everything and then turn it on (haven't tested that way yet).It requires the minimum of 12 volts to activate. If ramping it up or if you lower it below its threshold (around 8 volts on mine) after it being activated then it will disengage or won't engage. So it requires a minimum voltage threshold of 12-16 volts in order to activate. (I've been using around 15 volts and 0.5 amps DC to activate my zvs driver).Once it is figured out it works great and using a varible power supply you can tune in the exact voltage and amperage you want! Looking forward to powering some engineering and experimental things. Also going to make a 4-6 stage voltage multiplier, separate, so I have low voltage (0-50 volts), simulated high voltage (8,000 - 30,000 volts) , and super [true] high voltage (100,000+ volts) all controllable and the ability to dial in exactly amperage and voltage I want)!(And yes I soldered my connections because I was having trouble getting it to work, until I figured out the minimum 12 volt activation.)But I do recommend this if you're looking for around 12,000 to 30,000 volts or something to power a voltage multiplier or more.Hopefully this helps anyone that may run into this issue as well.Always remember one hand rule and do some research.High Voltage/current can kill.Always know what you're doing and be safe when using electricity.Always use the 1 hand rule (use right hand and put the other hand in you empty pocket).

I have used several of these to make high voltage power supplies because the secondary output is adjustable by turning the focus potentiometer. So you are not limited to a fixed voltage off the main output.

produces fat arcs, input current goes up to 20 amp when powered by LiFePO4 batteries (26.6v), does not overheat

Worked for 5 mins trace on circuit board Burt up wired it right and don't come with instructions fatback is good but not board
