Excellent! Best wishes on your assembly! It's all about practice and developing a feel for how molten solder behaves. A little note on technique... It helps to have the iron a bit hotter than you might expect and to work quickly. You want the pieces you're soldering to have enough heat themselves to melt the solder so don't look to the iron to be what you melt the solder onto. Get in quickly with firm metal to metal contact for good heat transfer to the work, apply the solder to the surfaces you want to form the basis of the joint, and get out quickly before you apply enough heat for it to spread up the component leads and damage things. You may also want to get some no-clean type liquid rosin flux to supplement the bit of flux contained in the solder. I use MG Chemicals rosin flux www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/mg-chemicals/8351-125ML/473-1412-ND/9658014 and it's the difference between exceptionally easy soldering and having an impossible time.

Cut one leg at a time and do it very carefully. 2. be careful with the polarity of the LEDs if it has them. The circuit board or the instructions may not be very clear, or just downright misleading. 3 if something doesn't work you learn far more by figuring out why than you would if it just works first time, and problem solving is a rewarding skill. 4 take your time and have fun

Another great place to find carbon fiber cords is to save your old spark plug wires when you replace them, if you're driving a car that's got a distributor and not coil-on-plug ignition. The high voltage wires coming off the ignition coil to the distributor, and the ones from the distributor to the plugs, are typically a similar sort of silicone-insulated carbon fiber to what's useful in ionizers, and can be used pretty much exactly like that carbon heating cord wire.

Interesting video. You can also use a neon bulb in place of a sidac, which fires at about 90 volts.

The whole thing was referred to as a 'relaxation oscillator'. The rate of flash is determined by the RC time constant...

Well that one took a bit of time to finish. Thanks Big Clive. I'd never heard of that component before. (the Sidac) Interesting.

Basically use a static effect to improve the effectiveness of the filter for smaller particles. The ground return path would be something of an issue and it may not be any more effective than the natural electrostatic effects of some materials, but it does get me thinking.

If anything that resistor will be of a small value so it is still a good ground reference unless you're passing lots of current. My Weller WAD101 measures 30ohm between the tip and main earth pin on the IEC socket.

A sidac is the alternating current version of a diac. In the case of USB ionizers run from 5V mains adaptors, the adaptor normally have a class Y capacitor and a 10M resistor across the mains isolation barrier. The 10M resistor should act as a ground return preventing excessive voltages building up.

@bigclivedotcom

I rarely see the resistor used in USB power supplies. Unfortunately the ioniser modules can cause a significant voltage across many supplies and cause insulation failure. A diac is bidirectional by default as it has to trigger a triac gate on both halves of the sinewave.

Oh wow, that SIDAC is super interesting! Definitely seems like the perfect, simple component for generating high voltage circuits, which it is... haha It's a heck of a lot easier than trying to make and tune up something like a 555 timer or a few overheating transistors to generate HF pulses, which is one of the only ways I've seen it done for goofing around with HV stuff. Although, the drawback is definitely clear if you needed like, feedback to generate resonance. Also, I thought that ceramic capacitor was a piezo for a second, lol. Edit: Wait... I suppose you could manually tune the SIDAC with a variable resistor.... 🤔

Dave Jones has a video where he shows that many low tolerance high value mulitlayer ceramic caps do indeed exhibit the piezoelectric effect and can both be transducers as well as microphonic.

So a sidac is basically a higher voltage diac. I think one of the main reasons for those 22K input resistors is to keep the sidac from shorting the input supply when it triggers. The input voltage will likely be near peak when the cap charges up to the trigger voltage.

That might actually be a diac (which is a half wave sidac) Diac's are relativity cheap on ebay (at least they were 5 years or so ago when I purchased some) . It would be interesting to look at the wave form on the transformer primary, you may find that the pulse frequency is much higher than the line frequency. I have a guess that the circuit is operating as a relation oscillator at a higher frequency, that would also work better with the small capacitance on the output. Many years ago I used to build power supplies (zappers) with a neon lamp relation oscillator, the transformer was a 'backwards' audio output transformer so it wasn't in the kV range but was a healthy zap. Interesting video, thanks! BTW- That's an interesting safety line power connector... Most of my work is done with a "Widow-Maker" (an old power cord with clip leads attached [don't try this at home kids ;-) ] )

Had a similar lamp minus the ionizer, lasted about a year and a half until it failed. Upon opening half of the LEDs had literally let the magic smoke out and all of the plastic had yellowed and turned so brittle the case came apart in my hands when squeezed.

High BigClive, Can you please do a video on those gps jammer/scramblers that plug into a car 12V socket. There was a video i watched recently from a guy claiming it could cause huge problems for any equipment nearby to the jammer...??

Lol , yeah I watched the electro-mechanical display Fran showed a couple of weeks ago Clive. Imagine what that would cost to produce nowadays with all the relays that were in it. They looked to be fairly big relays as well. I think there were 6 of them. As for the moving sliding plates, wow. A lot that could go wrong with that over time. Over complicated.
