PLEASE USE HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY at all times. Not knowing your safety can incur injury. Now, lets be honest. Every High Voltage scientist needs their power supply. You guys asked for it, so we're doing it! Today we'll show you an extremely simple build that outputs over 10,000 volts AC, from a non-rectified transformer, at a relatively safe current. These transformers, from ionic cleaners, are some of the few without internal diodes. Also - Cheers to Bogdan!

0:30 electroboom is proud xD
ahah I bet. That shock hurt!
He just made the same video, and that’s why I’m here
I didn’t know u had a yt I’m jplayz all ways watching ur tiktoks
@@Texas_bikes66 my tiktoks?
NOTE: THIS VIDEO IS REALLY OLD, AND AWKWARD. Please view my newer, higher quality content!
Still good though. I used it to prove someone I know wrong, which is quite a good thing >:)
I like the electroboom intro 😂
Yeeees!!
What? You sound like an idiot
@@shiningstaer i'm rubber and you're glue whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you
@@shiningstaer go watch Pepa pig toxic kiddo
@@shiningstaer you sound like a 5 year old which you probably are
It's incredible how certain things that looks some times overcomplicated are actually as easy as plugging two wires together ... nice video as always ;)
+North Thelittlefox I really appreciate the input. Yes, sometimes there are ways to circumvent a steep learning curve!
@@PlasmaChannel Can you make electric boars? In our country, high-voltage electric cats can only play sneakily
I love your videos so much. The effort, classy, instructions! You deserve so much more views
Really appreciate that sentiment. Thank you for the support!
3:38 its capacitively coupling to your thumb
true, nice catch!
@@PlasmaChannel it hurts if you hold it on there for to long
I found out YES you have a lot of videos on voltage multipliers.
Watched and gave all of them a thumbs up.
I built the AC Supply in this video today and it worked perfect the first time.
Next weekend will be building a 16 stage multiplier.
Thank you so much for your videos.
Wonderful! I love hearing that things worked.
@@PlasmaChannel I think I figured it out. You ran 3 capacitors in series so 3 capacitors act as one. I was thinking you did something special to prevent a voltage sag at the output.
This man is actually serious and good with inventions I like his videos does give me an inspiration in life!
Who's here after electroboom..😂😂
Me lol
Ha ha ha me too
me
I saw this long before electroboom did xd
Me
Thanks for my newest salvage rescue item lol. MOT's, refrigerator/AC compressors, flybacks, whatever; every time we build a project like this we keep e-waste out of landfills. I'm going to dig through your channel now haha
Thank you Jay for keeping it real!
My pleasure! Thanks for the loyalty
Sir I made it!
and it's Working !
Thanks A Lot Sir After this I am your Big Fan !
Excellent! im' happy to hear
Hi I just came from keystone science and I love this channel already!
I have a suggestion that not many people on youtube have built, and that is making a homemade x-ray machine.
All you need is the x-Ray tube and about 40 kilovolts
Honored you enjoy us! As per the x-rays, I have put thought into doing so in the future. Great suggestion. I have over 80lbs of lead (will be doing a plasma-lead-melting video soon) that I can use to shield from x-rays. The trick is how to do it in a controlled fashion. Very tricky. I have the 40kv, no problem. But the tube may be a little more tricky to attain.
@@PlasmaChannel any vacuum tube can turn into an X-Ray tube if you apply ~10KV or more.

amazing!!!
Gotta love that thriftshopping!! Fun episode Jay!
Its all about those thrift stores. I'm telling ya
you're a man after my heart.... and my rather limited wallet
Hi Jay, I like it.
It's very simple and works !
+Mike Poirier im very glad you enjoyed the DIY. Thank you for the feedback
@@PlasmaChannel can you touch this arcc
Love the videos!
So simple! I didn't know those ballasts put out high frequency! Also, can't believe you got that ionizer thing for 3$.
+gogo311 the place I buy most my HV supplies from... Rhymes with hood will. Yes, it was 3 or 4 dollars!
would love to see some more of these simple videos on making supplies and circuits
Awesome video! Just starting to research HV. Quick question... is there a simple way to make the frequency of the output voltage variable?
It's really nice to hold the High Voltage as long as it's not just high current.
Nice video Jay :)
I did not see the video notification..
Thanks! That is a problem that you did not receive a notification....
I forgot to put the tick on your channel bell..
Neither do I
kkkkk
Nice job, J! I am going to do it.
Give it a try! I'd suggest looking for the Sharper Image design, as the transformer inside is the same as in my video. Try looking for sharper image designs.
I enjoy your work Jay! Is it possible to produce more than one plasma Arc in one circuit?
Excellent!
Hong, your viewership is greatly appreciated. I hope you stick around!
Bro, thanks, your videos have reminded me how much I used to love electricity. Now that my interest has been resparked. i can share these cool projects with my 10 y/o home-schooled son, Grant
Please share your love of science. We are limited by how many people care to invest in the science fields.
You keep the videos coming, I'll keep the neighborhood children entertained and busy with projects.
@@daffster13 heh "resparked"
@@roshannaidu6313 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I guess that generates lots of negative ions as well? If you don’t know about those, you should look into it... The benefits are amazing. They literally make you feel better. Generated in nature by lightning and waterfalls, they are the “fresh” in fresh air. They bond with smoke, dust, and pollen causing them to stick together and they just fall out of the air to the floor.
Nope not anymore there are research papers proving that negative ions doesnt affect any brainwaves to make you feel relaxed.
Yes negative ion generators tend to use flybacks that feed AC into Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier cascades with negative output that is fed to a set of needles that discharge negative ion corona into the air and a fan blows air through that carries the ions out into the room. Ionic breeze machines like this one use plates charged with the negative high voltage, and electrode wires on the upwind side of the plates with the positive charge to electrically charge and move the air, like a high voltage lifter does, and air pollutants like pollen, mold spores, dust, dust mite feces, animal dander, etc cling to the plates and can be wiped off and discarded. They clean the air electrically and disperse negative ions to improve the air quality.
Very helpful thanks
Be safe, give it a try!
I recently found an air ionizer at the thrift store, but upon disassembling, I found that there was a small box connected to the ionizing spikes. It says "input 120 vac 50-60 hertz, output 7kv dc negative." theoretically that would contain a transformer and diodes, but it could have some sort of electronic circuit. The whole air filter works anyway, so would it be worth trying to recover a transformer, or should I just use the whole thing like it's supposed to be used? and should I buy the transformer off amazon, or find/ try to make my own? sorry for a lot of questions, but I want to make sure I don't blow up my parent's basement...
The moment I saw you made a new video I had to watch it right away
I'm honored you stick with us! Thanks for enjoying our passion!
Cool video
You're awesome I love your channel
Joseph thank you so much!
Thanks best friend
Glad you enjoyed!
How did you know it was safe to touch?
And is there a way to adjust the frequency to play audio through a voltage multiplier
arcs are probebly so high in frequency that it dosnt shock it just burns, still shouldnt touch it
Will this power the smaller voltage multiplier you built earlier with the plasma lighter.... my plasma lighter bit the dust. I did pick up the same ionic breeze like you have in the video. Good work!
Im pretty sure that Flyback used in air ioniser has rectifier and outputs DC. There is voltage doubler built-in so you dont need as high voltage winding and reducing cost.
Actually, pulsed DC arcs (like the ones from DC flybacks) have different characteristics to them. They sound different and look different. It's pretty awesome!
The bast channel ever thank you plasma
I'm honored by your opinion. Thank you.
I built a high voltage generator using a flyback, but wound a custom primary on to the exposed side of the core and used a 555 timer and a mosfet as the driver circuit, it gave arcs like this and if I put a reasonably strong audio signal into pin 5 I could get music to play out of the arc! I also built a 1KW ZVS flyback driver which gave me bright 8 inch arcs from a small flyback out of a portable TV.
Excellent! But 8 inches????! In all my years building gadgets, i've never puled more than 3" from a flyback.
@@PlasmaChannel I doubt he means initial arc but rather the peak of the pull back.
Something i noticed at the end you say dont forget, the brain heard forget, maybe try remember to like and subscribe.
But,
Love this video and went out to buy the suplies right after thanks!
Will ballast with output 225VAC and 50kHz frequency work with the flyback?
What is the output frequency of the ballast that you used?
"If you know where to look there very cheap." I'm thinking amazing? Lol
thanks for the video, I have a doubt regarding the output nature, as the flyback transformer is having internally connected rectifier circuit it is gonna give a dc output but you were saying an ac output, correct me if I am wrong
Nice outfit. Good content. Very entertaining.
Thank you for the feedback! Seen our recent stuff?
Thumb up bro! Quick question dude what is the ballast for? For high frequency only? For thesis purposes. Thanks
Hey Jay, can you please provide schematic of over 20kv powers supply. I am actually curious about it
Will this exceed the maximum current output (15 amps) for a wall outlet?
I think that I recognize that device you showed in the opening. It is from the Amazing Whole Foods of electronic kits! Old Bob is still at it.
I've tried to find it online, to buy another, and they no longer exist. Breaks my heart!
Hi mate, do you know where I can find a step up transformer that I can put in 220v or under and step it up to 25kv +? Thanks
Will it be able to work on low frequencies also?
This is nice i have made one like this but i used a hor. TR. And drive tr.
hi plasma channel, just came across your channel. i'm from the u.k, had to google what a thrift store was lol.
would this piece still work with a 240v supply? pretty new to this, but love it none the less.
thanls
Hi dom! It should work with 240 volt as well. However, only use the CFL inverters sold in your country, for specificly 240 volt input (from wall). Basically, the output will then be the same as what would happen here in the USA. On that note, greetings from Seattle, Washington!
Are you shure that flyback outputs AC? Looks just like one from a CRT wich outputs DC
Can I get this type of diode less flyback transformer in a tv because I have only found flybacks with diode
That's cool... in the old days we'd have found a flyback transformer out of a CRT device... but in this day and age of flat screens, they're getting rare. Good call on finding an ioniser, although they're not really THAT common on this side of The Atlantic.
Although a bit more explanation of WHY we're using these components and how they work would be much more helpful.
That is really interesting feedback. Are you in Europe? Ionizers are rare over there? They are all over the place in USA.
GREAT VIDEO!! Believe it or not, just 2 days after watching this video, I was in furniture store, and happened to see TWO of these ionizers ($5)...grabbed them up fast! Now I can build this.
TWO QUESTIONS:
1) Are these transformers pure AC output..or may they have some internal diodes??
2) Can they be connected in series for higher output?
THANKS AGAIN!!!
Hey! Love the channel!
I have a question....
I’ve been working on a similar project but the question I have is what exactly did you do with the remaining wires. I know the ballast has 4 output wires and you have to use 2 but did you do anything with the other two? Did you just cap them off?
Hello, thank you! Yes, I just cut them off and capped them.
if you definitely do not need to use the remaining ballast wires, I recommend just unsoldering them, then you will have a large cable that you can reuse
I have the same transformer but i use homemade ZVS driver instead, so it's more powerfull. Can i use it for voltage multiplier?
Also congratulations for 100k subs
nice video the best
Hey love the video. Can you use the transformer with just 110V? Does it give decent arcs? Just wondering why you need the electronic ballast.
If you just plug the transformer into the wall, it will blow up immediately. Too much power being provided. The driver limits power and also switches the power on and off incredibly fast. That fast on-off-on is what drives the flyback.
Why didnt you use the original driver circuit in the ozone generator/ionizer?
Clever, I haven't heard about that mix before. I didn't know ionizers used ferrite transformer. (but I know plasma balls do)
Are you going to do more power supply videos?
There is the TV flybacks, the AC stuff, mains frequency, high frequency, the safe and the deadly.
And cover DC & AC and the difference in behavior?
Some people seems to really overrate the voltage of Tesla coils too, also a nice topic.
I fully agree with the over ratings of Tesla Coil. Pulse rate and EM envelope drastically affects spark length... I do plan on doing additional power supply videos! Thanks for the comment.
In my circuit the displacement current can perforate the insulation of the output wires if close to a conductor, because my transformer does not have voltage multipliers?
Fluorescent ballasts tend to drive flybacks much harder than they are in a CRT TV, if that's where your's came from. A TV flyback is driven with a square wave at rectified mains voltage by the horizontal output transistor, but the deflection yoke causes the current through the flyback primary to ramp as a sawtooth waveform. The air gap between the two post halves of the ferrite core, inside the coils of the flyback, causes the flyback to store some energy like a capacitor during the primary current ramp up, no secondary current flows because of the built in rectifier diodes, and then it discharges that energy in the DC pulse created when the sawtooth ramp drops off. When driving a flyback with an electronic ballast the output V of the ballast is usually much higher than rectified mains. The electronic ballast uses a resonant LC circuit to drive higher voltages and current through a fluorescent lamp tube at a high frequency of around 25 KHz and voltages of between 300 and 600 volts. Most TV flybacks are resonant at around 15 KHz, it's not too far off from the flyback's resonant frequency to matter. The higher voltage and current of the ballast drives the flyback harder than the horizontal output transistor drive circuit in the TV. I have a large DC flyback that I had to put in a plastic jar with the inputs and outputs connected to terminals through the wall of the jar with sealer around them, and filled it with mineral oil because my 55 watt ballast was driving it so hard the pins on the bottom of the flyback were arcing like crazy, and the high voltage was arcing through the thick red insulation on the positive output wire. Once the oil stopped the wasteful, energy robbing pin arcing, and losses through the insulation, I got an impressive output that I use high quality auto ignition cables to carry the HV to a load. I can power a small Tesla Coil with it. It's output current is comperable to a low end neon sign transformer, probably 10 mA or more, but at the high frequency so it is less sensitive to RF from the TC primary, though I still use chokes and safety gaps to protect it.
Very cool,
Thank you Steven
Hello... Quick question.... You got the flyback from an air purifier (which doesn`t have diodes at the end so the output is AC) .... Could you use 1 that has diodes at the end... And how dangerous are these things(Is the AC or DC one more dangerous?)
Great 👍🙂👌
Love your content! Can I feed this with 12V dc? Let's say from car electrical system?... What do I need to do so?
You can find something like this on the Avasva page. Full step-by-step instructions right on your desk.
I have found an air purifier same as yours. I just want to ask if it will work if i use power supply instead of ballast? And if i will be doing that, will it be dangerous in AC sockets? Thank you.
What are you using, when you refer to power supply?
Flyback transformer!!
Did that air purifier also have a voltage multiplier or did it use just the HF HV output of the transformer? Was the original driving circuit too weak that you used a ballast instead?
Can I use the 12 volt ballasts instead of mains voltage ones? This ones 25khz at 900 volts. I’d like to use it for a spark gap Tesla coil similar to your 3 volt version but scaled up.
In fact you could! That may work better
Would this be the same as a zvs driver and a flyback? Or is there something special about the fluorescent driver and Air cleaner flyback pairing?
It is indeed similar in outcome. Good catch.
How do you find the 2 output wires?
Can we create arcs just by using a high frequency(55kHz) output ballast (LHBF01904025)?
My first time on this channel and it looks to me like he was inspired by electroboom!
Haha, I do enjoy that channel. However, I specialize in high voltage generation. Something most channels only touch on.
If i use the ballast from a cfl bulb will it work or not? Please tell me i didn't found any ballast in my city
What if you were to use this as a power supply to your voltage multiplier tower?
I have a ballast which has 8 wires coming from it. 2 are obviously where 120v in goes but then on the same end there are 2 yellow wires. On the other end there are 2 pink/red wires and 2 blue wires. Do you have any idea how to figure out which wires I should connect to the transformer? I found the pins on the transformer I just can't seem to find the right combination of the 6 wires.
Interesting! Did you try different combinations of single colors?
Will this set-up produce the same effect on the cube like on your other video?
+crystal meza in fact it will! However, be wary of using the power source for too long while etching. I have ran the powersource overnight without failure, but when pulling a lot of power through it, I limit usage to 5 minutes at a time.
Nice video as always, what is the output power of this supply and can it power a powerful spark gap tesla coil?
Thats what im wondering.
For some reason the arcs from my mosfet driven slayer exciter coil looks the same ....same frequency i assume?
Nah. High frequency low current arcs usually look like that. In fact your slayer exiter most likely operates at a much higher frequency.
Question: I know that BJ Transistors can operate at only low currents, but can it function properly at high voltage? Won't the electrons diffuse through the depletion region?
I dont know of too many bjt's that can withstand high voltages.
Your channel esta bien chingon saludos desde mexici
Greetings from Seattle, USA
Pleas make a video on flyback driver with a bugzapper its really work..
You is very very very best!!!my kumir
Ha, thank you!
I'm a new viewer, could I ask a question ?
Did you get this demonstration from your fourth graders teachers assistant ?
I really would like to ask my grandkids grade school & kindergartner teachers assistants. To do this for each class...
I like how electroboom is often influenced by Jay. This time we got to see what happens when Jay channels his inner electroboom : he get shocked :-)
It’s easier to use a fluorescent ballast (the driver) that has the two yellow wires. There’s no guess work involved. Just connect one of the yellow wires to one pin on the primary and the matching color, (depending on which side you use) which is red or blue, to the other pin. Easy as that. Just saying!
very nice explanation and sexy neat presentation.
I believe you will become famous in the upcoming days.
Question:
is it a flyback transformer because it is also found in old CRT TV .
how to make a DC high voltage power supply ???
Hey Jay, ive been thinking about building this but i cant find an ionic air purifier where i could take the transformer from, so i was wondering if i could use a flyback instead? Im pretty new to this so im sorry if this is a dumb question.
That is in fact a flyback transformer. Your on the right track. A lot of them will be very similar even if used in totally unrelated appliances. CRT TVs, air purifiers, plasma globes. A miniature one can be found in CFL bulbs, CFL back lights for computers, and on the smallest end arc lighters which are a recent development. The bigger ones can obviously handle more voltage and power in general so I'd stick with those. Also an old school ignition coil for a car is basically a massive flyback without the diode but I'd stick with the mid range ones that can be soldered on a board.
Why not use the driver from the ionic breeze ? Maybe use that for a video
Wait can i use a flyback transformer like from an old tube tv? They look very similar to the one you used.
You indeed can, though, those output DC HV, not AC
another wonderful video man. you should also do a diy tower
Thank you Cory!
You mean a Tesla Coil, or Voltage Multiplier?
yes
Plasma Channel But, why not do both ? ;)
yes please do both
Do you have a video for what tools and machines you have readily available? Lol thanks
I'm sorry, I dont follow
Can I use this power supply in cathode ray tube ?
Isn't air breakdown voltage more that 10kV/cm? AFAIK it ranges between 10 and 30 depending on electrode sharpness and, if that's a 1" gap, it should be at least 25kV, shouldn't it?
battlekruiser great question. Air's dielectric breakdown is 30kv/cm between two 1" brass spheres. This is the electrical standard at STP. However, when you have sharp points, the electric field gradients are much more intense and longer sparks are achieved with lower voltages. The two high voltage leads are very sharp. This transformer indeed outputs approximately 10,000 v. If I attached it to two rounded spheres, the spark length is approximately 4mm
If frequency is very high...the spark frequency of ac will hurt us??
Coll dude
I have a question for you:
If i'll buy me a transformator let's say a 3v to 400kv trafo, and i would make another coil, is this even better than only use the trafo or is it better if I make another secondary coil?
unfortunately those ebay 400kv transfrmers are not actually 400kv. Its all marketing....big voltages in the name sell more. They actually run 20kv-60kv. Which is still very impressive. That being said, these commercially made transformers are very efficient. It is hard to beat factory-created transformers
You can also get a flyback transformer by disassembling an old cathode ray tube television.
