How to Make High Voltage Transformer | DIY High Voltage Transformer | Curious Chan
In this video, we will assemble a high voltage transformer from scrap electronic parts. High voltage transformer is an important part of high voltage power supplies. With high voltage power supplies, we will be able to perform high voltage experiments. I will also share some tips in making the high voltage transformer.

    You asked for suggestions. I like the video. You said the schematic would be shown at the end of the video but no schematic. I have seen the schematic for this before so no loss to me, but there are many others who are curious. There are many others making HV using this same schematic but do not explain anything, whereas you try to explain everything you are doing. The video itself is great! Thanks for making it.

    Hi. Thanks for your beautiful tutorial, I have a question based on the following points. Tip 1: In the secondary winding, I soldered thin wires with different diameters to each other and finally obtained 900 turns with a resistance of 45 ohms. Tip 2: I fed the input from a 12 volt adapter. Tip 3: After connecting, I saw very weak sparks in the secondary. Please state the reason for my failure. I would also be grateful if you could guide me further.

    Hello, thank you for showing interest in this humble tutorial😅 May I ask, did you insulate the soldered connections? If I understood it right, you said that you soldered different wires in order to make the 900-turn secondary coil. It is possible that there is internal arcing somewhere in secondary coil, so please insulate every soldered connections. I also found out, contrary to one tip in this video, that nail polish is not very good for high voltage insulation. Two-component adhesive is a better choice.

    You may also want to check the circuit which drives your transformer. Try using it with any flyback transformer that you know works.

    Hello! I only used 13007 bipolar junction transistor. Any BJT that can withstand high voltage and operate at high speed, high frequency will do. When in doubt, search for the transistor datasheet and check its specifications. As for using MOSFETs, I had no success in using them to drive this transformer. They always died due to overcurrent and/or high back EMF on primary coil. So it's up to trial and error to get the best MOSFET working on your particular high voltage transformer.

    @@yagospider hello, you can actually use any high voltage transformer(flyback transformer, microwave oven transformer, neon sign transformer, etc.). If you want to produce ozone using high voltage transformer, you must space your electrodes so that no arcs are produced; corona discharge is ideal. The higher the voltage your transformer can produce, the bigger the gap you can use and therefore the more oxygen gas you can convert into ozone per hour. You may also use high voltage multiplier to increase transformer output voltage to even higher voltage. But be careful when using them as they present an electrical hazard. Thanks for watching!

    you are wrong at the end, it is not 21kV. and it is certainly not 1kV per 3mm, that's only if the electrodes are sharp and pointy. that looks to be at least 2 or 3kV. 21kV would jump at a 7mm gap. not sure why people think stretching the arcs until it disconnects, gives you that amount of voltage, that's not how it works.

    It depends. The longer a human is in contact with high voltage, the more damage received. But what really matters is the amount of current that flows with the high voltage. More current even at very small contact time will do great damage. I hope my answer helps, and please correct me if I'm wrong😅
