DIY High Voltage AC Power Supply
Ғылым және технология
Tutorial on how to make a high voltage power supply that outputs around 10,000 volts AC, using a car ignition coil and a light dimmer.
Many many thanks to OBV10U3_NINJA for the design of the intro!
WARNING: This device is easily capable of delivering a fatal electric shock, you must take all the precautions needed to work with high voltage.

Thanks bro! I've been looking for this informative video for too long, it's simple and easy to understand.
thank you so much much much ill recommend this channel to my friends and when ill win my science compitition i will give you 50 percent credit

simple but useful idea. I can make ozone generator now. cheers from Indonesia
I built one myself a while ago, with a capacitor from a microwave. Mine would throw out 30kv or so. Very dangerous, and amazing. Good video!

i'd rather just use the microwave transformer then and add 2 capacitors in series to make it resonance . much better cuz high current and voltage . maybe even add a ballast

cool, I built same thing about 25 years ago and connected to a voltage multiplier from old tv and got 3-inch sparks,easy way to get HV...
I built one using multiple caps (about 150uf) & GM coil pack on a Jacobs ladder. The arc was approx the diameter of a pencil and a horse shoe size hoop at the top. It sounded like something from a Frankenstein movie
this is how it is explained so that everyone understands like a real professor..short and clear..well done.. it is dangerous without a transformer to separate 110 V from the electrical network ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️✍️
Thank you so much , really inforamtive
Excelente. Gracias desde Venezuela
Bacana! Usar um dimmer pra pulsar, não tinha pensado nisso! Pena que você não explicou os valores dos diodos e capacitores de Alta Voltagem pra dobrar a tençâo AT
this week I'll start doing one maybe with dual ignition coil, hope 1.5uf (630v) with 240vac mains will work. can't find 1uf or less around me. next week I'll get an oven. my goal comparing emp effect and distance from magnetron and high voltage.

How about using a 120 volt to 12 volt transformer with just an on off switch? That would give me a 60 cycle pulse out of the ignition coil but is there something I am not considering I dont want to give my dogs a permanent smile. Should I use some kind of resistor to limit the current?
great work
So simple I love it. Seems your circuit could be modified for way more output. I'm thinking spark gap and condenser could really make that baby zing

I thought that the breakdown voltage for air is 30kV and that ignition coils are around 15-20kV, which would make sense with your 5mm arc length ?
Doesn't the capacitor give the coil resonance at some high frequency, well above 50/60 hz.? Is anyone sure this circuit is still firing the coil secondary at 50 or 60hz.?

Dear if we keep the spark gap distance constant say 5mm and vary the value of dimmer can we say that the sparks have a frequency range from ______Hz to -_______ KHz using your setup. Can you please check the frequency range by watching the spikes on a distant spectrum analyzer not connected with the circuit our RF transmission on an SDR?
how would I build a really badass fence from one or more microwave transformers? they output 2kV AC anyway, dont they? and I dont need pulse. i want "touch & drop" perimeter defence style version...?
How is the current in a pulse start lighting ballast interrupted to create the high voltage pulses in the ignitor?
Mr. Ludic can we use the same circuit to power a flyback instead of the ignition coil?. Great video, Thumbs Up.
Why not use vibrating relay with ignition coil , then add the multiplier for higher volts output DC? Primary turns on, then off .
🎉🎉🎉🙏..greeting ...before ending of your clip that ...what is it do you used to multiply to get the higher the voltage / current !!! Capacitor ??( the three white one !???). Thank you 🙏.
Nice job. I think that your warning implies that it's only the high voltage that is dangerous. Any part of this circuit is capable of delivering a fatal shock with direct contact, primary or HV winding. At least 90ma on the primary and very close to that on the secondary on direct contact.

Hi Ludic Science, I am building a rat zapper that will utilizing your schematic and adding a PIR sensor switch at the 220V source plus an MCB as fuse. One question, If NEGATIVE coil terminal and the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal successfully zap a rat and the rat will stay there, do you thing the MCB fuse will trip down (due to shortage in the circuit)? I want the circuit to be automatically ON when PIR sensor catch a move, so it can zap multiple time per setup. Currently I am using mosquito zapper part to electrify the zapper, but I need to use 220v to 3.7V DC stepdown and currently it works great with small mouse. I want to build a little bigger zapper that will kill bigger rodent for continuous use. The circuit is use in our own property with enough security inside a barn.

Hello, and good videos. 1) You use AC input, but... is it AC in the input of the coil? I would like to use AC in the input of the ignition coil. Thanks. 2) I have 250 AC in the wall socket, can I use 1000 Volts, 1uF Capacitor or it would be too much?
@ludicscience

at the input of the coil there is chopped AC. Yes 1 uf or less.
Does the value of the capacitor affect the frequency to the coil, or does the frequency to the coil stay at line frequency of 60htz? Also some of the eBay dimmers have 4 connections, 2 incoming and 2 outgoing. can this type of dimmer still work? I am trying to make a plasma ball driver which I can vary the frequency and voltage. I had also thought of using a pwm with both frequency and pulse width adjustability. Might this work?

you can make a relay that osculates accordingly with a capacitor on 12vdc try to use a relay out of a car or microwave circuit board. always discharge the hv cap from the transformer to the magnetron!
Woow good jobs...
This is a capacitor discharge unit. It is an interesting system ho9w to operate the ignition coil.
I'm going to try this with a 10 amp diode in series with the secondary of a 120vac to 12vac/10 amp transformer to turn the AC into 60 Hz pulsed DC. Polarity of the diode doesn't matter. At least try it to see if the diode blows. Coils like this are designed to operate with pulsing DC.
