Bad ass dude! Simply beautiful

That's interesting I know next to nothing about electronics. But from KZread..I had thought that a Moffett and a 555 could drive a automotive coil . I wouldn't know how to wire it all up but the fact I was right tells me that iam gaining understanding at least a little bit 😆

Got yourself a pretty deadly taser, there!!!

555 timers are so common it's like you could breath them.

Fr this is sooo ❤ lovely i like those hot red arcs damn i love electronics

I have made kinda same circuit just my capacitors are non-polarized instead of tantalum and I am getting nothing at output (spark gap). So should I change the capacitors or there must be anything else going wrong?

Can this be used with a HT lead and spark plug attached also? To act as a home made flamer kit..

With a little bit of arduino happiness, could make spark gap radio, or some really cool spark-audio music!

Sweet, what happens if primary is spun with motor, while operating as induction coil?

Nice circuit! It just occurred to me that if you place an appropriate power resistor in series with the output of the spark coil, you could probably use this as an arc starter for a TIG welding machine. I built a TIG arcstarter sometime around 2006 and used an old oil burner ignition transformer for the high voltage supply, but something like this might very well have done the trick as well. The reason for the high voltage is to ionize the air between the welding electrode and workpiece, so you don't have to touch the work with the tungsten electrode to start the arc, which wrecks the electrode tip.

+BasementEngineer hi man , i have a question ! did you build the circuit ? cuz I've build it and it did not work at all !! i really don't know why is that :| another thing , shouldn't the value in the schematic of 'R1 = 620 ohm'' but should be like '' 620 Kohm '' ?? I'm really confused can you help ?

I haven't built this circuit myself, but I built something like it years ago to drive a MOSFET for DC motor speed control. 555 circuits are pretty straightforward, that's one of the nice things about this old IC and why it's still kicking around. The best advice I can give is to check all individual components before assembling the circuit, this is especially important if using parts you salvaged from other circuit boards, and put the IC in a socket so you can try different ones. Double and then triple-check all your wiring before applying power to the circuit, and test the output of the 555 with a scope (or just an LED and resistor) before connecting the MOSFET and coil. Make sure the coil itself is good too. Not sure about the 620 ohm resistor at the upper left corner of the schematic, been too long since I've built something like this. Maybe you could simulate it in software on your PC to iron things out first.

Changing the resistance in a 555 timer circuit changes its timing or frequency. You can change the resistance using a potentiometer.

I tried doing this with a few of GM's wasted spark coils and I cant get anything out of them. if I use an LED on the driver's output it blinks so I know the circuit works. or if I use a fuel injector it clicks so again its working. when I use the ignition coil, its pulling current (meter reads about 4 amps) but no spark no matter how close I get the 2 leads of the output together. is there a reason the GM wasted spark type coil wont work for this type of driver circuit?

@victorsteerup3111

I too would like to try a "double ended, wasted spark" coil. Basics: when the PRIMARY circuit is OPENED, its magnetic field collapses, inducing voltage in the SECONDARY. If you are just touching wires, the primary current just jumps across the gap, that is why points type ignitions have a capacitor across the primary contacts. This is the BACK EMF induced into the primary others mention that could damage the primary electronics.

I think spark plugs require an ignition coil which is the part that ramps up the voltage. You need super high voltage to create a spark like this.

I etched and assembled the circuit myself. In the description there is a link to the PCB and component list.

Go turn on your AM radio while playing with this setup Try tuning in a fairly distant station, then fire this up. Result. your now over loading the receivers front end with enough noise to effective block the incoming station. Or, try to tune the radio the the center Freq of the signal your producing, you can even very the 555's frequency to change it. Now understand, it's not just you local, but can likely cover several miles away from you. It's why, this kind of experiment is frowned upon. It's good tech to understand how it's done, but, not so good, to just play, with for the sake of playing. It's a tool, use it wisely.

The FCC says that you can deal with it. Because these rules were made when there were real people who understood the other real people experimented with things. And when a.m. broadcast were important I could understand. But we have things called cell phones that operate in the 2.4 to 5 point some odd gigahertz that are not affected by this. Leave the experimenters alone they're not hurting anybody anymore

What sort of damage would that do to someone? Is it stun gun material or straight up death ray?

Sir can it kill rodents and rats? How can i increase theoutpit current

This is okay. But what is much sicker. drive a 12V coil with 400 Volt primary from a small motor capacitor like 1 uF or 2 or 5uF with a thyristor. Thy only limit is the internal insulation of the coil. I think this sparks was like about 5 or more centimeters.

same same, the idea is to apply alternative signal on primary coil no matter what type of signal, because we need to induce current on the secondary coil, dc voltage does not work, if we apply the voltage directly from the battery nothing will happen, because battery supply dc voltage, and ignition coil is step up transformer, transformer works only with ac voltage, they are ac voltage applications, the purpose of 555 timer in this video is to generate an ac signal from dc supply

@mikeb3172

If the 555 circuit drives a mosfet before the coil, it's better as a square wave. If it's a sine wave, the gradual curve inbetween would cause the mosfet to heat up. Also the coil transfers voltage from low (12v) to high voltage (50,000v) when the field collapses(?) which means it has to switch on/off digitally.

The system is considered DC. The coil is driven by a DC pusle, From a 555 timer driving a mosfet The result will be as mentioned by james a square wave (trapezoid actually to be that guy). The output from the ignition coil (transformer) will be DC with a chance of AC secondary oscillations. The output current from the coil is inverted in polarity to its input driving current but is still considered DC as it stays inverted and doesn't transition from on to the other.

I've seen a driver made with a relay (ElectroBoom channel) to achieve the same result, but the relay clicks and when it clicks rapidly, the noise from the mechanical switch is not the most pleasant thing, plus it wears out the contacts (in relay's defence, it's much simpler though). Love this circuit. The 555 timer is rarely given the credit it deserves. Thanks for the demo.
