- 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.
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!
+Nathan Boody Thanks!
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

⚠️ Quran
how many volts needed in which it couldn't harm a person that holds the wire
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 much much ill recommend this channel to my friends and when ill win my science compitition i will give you 50 percent credit
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
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...
Just finished building this model and it works perfectly. Thank you for posting!
We’re did you get the light dimmer
add a higher capacitance and u will get far better arcs just dont exceed capacity of 25 uF or the coil will be smoked
@@adhesivemaser3469 Home Depot! But you could just order one online.
@@BoiledKoolaid will any dimmer do?
@@BoiledKoolaid I got most of the stuff, did you do the triple voltage trick? What do you use?
You should really put a warning in the front of your video about devices like this being fatal instead of just at the bottom of the description
Ehhh it's shock ain't to bad just a little caffeine shot haha good way to sober up at night lol
Iykyk...

Thanks bro! I've been looking for this informative video for too long, it's simple and easy to understand.
Again you are very very welcome, enjoy the intro! I love helping out fellow CZcamsrs :D
+OBV10U3_NINJA :)
I did this about 16 years ago... except i used a high voltage microwave capacitor. arcs were at least 8 inches long.
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.
1kw magnetron showing distance over ignition coil in effecting calculator (reset) and light bulbs.
did someone try it ? did i do something wrong ?
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...?
simple but useful idea. I can make ozone generator now.
cheers from Indonesia
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?
Can I use 220v instead 110v to the ignition coil?
For the voltage triplicate what value do you use on the capacitor and diode?
huy profe manuel achad no sabia que habla ingles que super,lo felicito good luck
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 ?
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
yes it can be modify I think but using the flasher of cignal light of vehibles the current will not continues sparkling
can i use 220 v instade of 110 v
With a smaller capacitor, could this setup be used for a electric fence?
It's not isolated from mains so it would probably be dangerous.
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.
+eminusipi That´s correct.
from 3:40 towards the end can you pls provide listing of items and provide a schematic diagram. thank you bro
is it possible to generate low voltage wih high frequency? 1.2 volts above 3 mega hertz, is it possible for an inverter?
I am still learning I am 15 years old. So you are on good trac I am from slovenia
+Tim Tolar I visited Ljubljana long time ago, very very beautiful city.
Most cars run at 12V. Putting 120v @ 60Hz or 240v 13 amps @50 Hz as we have in Europe straight into an ignition coil sounds like a Bad Idea(tm) resulting in lots of magic smoke and possibly death. It would be much safer and efficient to drive this thing with a bench power supply or a car battery modulated to a few KHz. It only takes a few component which can be salvaged from scrap TVs
I think you can use this for an electric fence as well...I stead of using 12vDC you can use 12vAC
is the first voltage letal? i want to use it to electrify a storage room door, but i dont want to kill the thief
This is a capacitor discharge unit. It is an interesting system ho9w to operate the ignition coil.
this would be perfect for a bug zapper the rheostat can ajust the gap for the screens
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
Please can I use a DC voltage only? Can I use Ac voltage for this
? I want an answer
Don't experiment around this stuff if you don't know the basics.
How does flame rectification work?
Why not use vibrating relay with ignition coil , then add the multiplier for higher volts output DC? Primary turns on, then off .
New intro is great by the way!
wear headphone for better feelings... if you are alive.
I know you are using 2 type of insulating media; one is .... ( please write it down because I did not understand) and the second one is paraffin. Why this mixture? Could you use melting glue? Thanks
50% Vaseline 50% Paraffin , i hope that helps you
@@ElIsraelJijijiji Thank you, sir.
@Isreal Gomez. Please give me some guidance to process the two compounds into that wonderful insulator. Again thanks
@@claudeloi just put a half of a regular soup spoon, and put it on a bottlr
@@ElIsraelJijijiji Paraffin is solid and vaseline is gel. How to melt and mix them at the time of use?
I can only run mine for a few seconds before the coil gets too hot. Already had one coil blow up. Sprayed oil all over my shop. I'm using the exact same set-up. What am I doing wrong ?
I’ve tried this and I’ve got no voltage coming out of the capacitor ??
can i use this method to install on bike ?
Good evening explanation is excellent but I want to lift the spark للسياراة to improve the performance what is the way, and thanks for
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.
are you still alive
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.
Depending on how long you use it probably. Just make a heavy duty ac to DC rectifier if you think it would be better
can it be used to make ozone
What can you actually use it for ?
I want to do this to a furnace that currently has a silicone nitride hot surface igniter. This should ignite the natural gas more reliably. What do you think?
Excelent, it's great!
How to make, the same DIY High Voltage, but for 220v of ac Supply?
I wouldn't put 117Vac into something designed for low voltage DC for sure. wow.
Anyway when the ignition coil operates in its normal conditions it operates in switched mode. So self induction generates about 100V at the primary. The problem here may be the heavy operating duty cycle (so the high average power) more than the voltage amplitude.
Hello
Thanks you dear friend for your very nice videoes
🎉🎉🎉🙏..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 🙏.
Ur videos are very informative and we can make our own diy projects. But why you have no new uploaded videos ?? Who you'll upload soon 💐
Good video could explain to me what the operating principle is
Hi Ludic
Would I get away with 20kv capacitors for the multiplier?.
What happens if you cut down the load from the house to try and get a lower voltage on output ,what is the amps
Last you connect voltage multi... But how can we make it. What's value of capacitor and diode
Is this a capacitive dropper circuit not shure if anyone wil read this
Why don't adjust capacitor to resonance frequency of lc
hola, el flujo de 10 a 12 KV genera estática a su alrededor?
i made with a motorcycle ignition coil and a ceiling fan regulator... but the Arc is small.... may i know why? ....i saw another video and the spark was a little bit bigger there
ceiling fan regulator may be the culprit
+Ludic Science may i know why?
This circuit needs an SCR, that comes inside the dimmer, maybe your fan regulator uses other type of circuit.
How is the current in a pulse start lighting ballast interrupted to create the high voltage pulses in the ignitor?
the coil is for 12v and dc hiw you pout ac and 110v from your houce
What is the capacitor for?
Limiting the current.
JESUS man dat intro started playing when I didnt expect it.. And it scared the living shit out of me.. :D
+Neuker nar Bohemia I´ll use a lower volume for the intro next video
+Ludic Science Thank you..
Pregunta: pero la bobina de ignición la estás alimentando con la corriente de la casa? No debería de ser con una batería??? Osea con DC de entrada???
I only have 220v AC what can I do, with transformer 220v to 110v did not work, help
Sir i made a hv transformer but when i plug it in the driver ... it makes nasty high frequency noises which decrease after i let the gap smaller andDlet arc
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.?
Thank you so much , really inforamtive
Mr. Ludic can we use the same circuit to power a flyback instead of the ignition coil?. Great video, Thumbs Up.
Can that circuit be used as an electric fence charger to keep animals in ???
No, you need add transformer to isolate from mains
Hello sir The motorbike can be used by ignition coil plz help mee
Can this be used as a normal, continuous Ac power supply or is it just for creating spark pulses?
My question too
It is not continuous AC
@@ludicscience So, it is a spark generator, not a power supply as the title states. Oh, well, thanks for the demonstration.
Ludic is it possible to power a slayer exciter with two electric motors? One spins the other to create an AC current that drives a primary coil?
hy friend... what type of light dimmer you chose?
+ludic science..... can I use flyback transformer instead of ignition coil???
Excelente. Gracias desde Venezuela
why do we need the dimmer?
in order to chop the ac current and fed the coil with that kind of waveform
Can you show how to make the voltage multiplier.
I put mine under oil and have about 42uf capacitance i get at least 5cm arcs
Nice one. How hot did the coil get lol. Not really made for 120 acv mains.
Is the output from the ignition coil the same 50 or 60 Hz as the AC power from the output? Or at a different frequency depending on the coil and capacitor, or dimmer?
+TechnoWizard Same as line frequency
Hi, you connected the ignition coil to 110v, right? Is the capacitor required because of that? Cause the coil is rated for 24v?!?!
It's too reduce the amps
The capacitors capacitive reactance limits the current to an acceptable level at the mains frequency.
Nice work as always
+Mrinal Thakur Thanks
+Ludic Science I have watched most of your videos if not all
great work
Nice and simple. I want to make one AC spark generator with 20-50KV at 200kHz. Can u plz tell how to do it?
Yes please! I want to make an electric chair too! Please post.
Very nice.
Nice, now you can perform some oldschool wireless telegraphy experiments.
+helut kuno Love those vintage experiments
Me too, just sitting in front of a cohaerer Setup, but it won't work with a relay, just a LED can be turned on/ off :/
+helut kuno perhaps you can turn on a transistor and then the relay
Cool new intro
+YTPmaster thanks to +OBV10U3_NINJA
This is like telegraph
I need to ask: Does the dimmer need to be somewhat special, or can it be any dimmer? Thank you
Normal dimmer for incandescente lights
plz give one clap switch circuit video
hi, how voltage voltage and amps or watts consumed when at the lowest of the dimmer.
Doesn't the output tripler convert to DC?
Yes. It does.
Hi, i wanted to know how to make a ignition coil booster for my motorcycle.. Please, give me a tips.. :( :(I dont wanna waste a money for booster, i just want to make a homemade ignition coil booster for my motorcycle..
Is this work 220 also and tell me it work long work time
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?
at the input of the coil there is chopped AC. Yes 1 uf or less.
Can it be used for electric fence ??? Pls rply
can I use ignition coil of a motorcycle instead?
Can you use this for a jacobs ladder?
Can we build it without the capacitor as there is ac current coming from the ac power supply
The cap probably saves the 12volt car coil from an early death. It is acting as a capacitive dropper There is no other reason for it I can see.
What are the specifics of the ignition coul
Great experiment but your cat didn't like it !!!
