neon sign transformer

can i use neon sign transformer ?????

please help

Yes pranav,

You can use a NST with success at charging capacitors at high voltage. You gonna need a full wave bridge rectifier also. Bear in mind that the FWBR has to be fast (because NST work at Kz range) and withstand the max NST voltage.

Microwave oven diodes are decent for the job. I use fast rise diodes 20Kv, 100nsec for me.
A must is to have chocking coils after your FWBR and before your capacitor. This "detail" i have not meet and my NST went straight to trash can.

Ouch. Its "little" details like this that can ruin and already complex experiment.

Some new info from Russian guys

Do you know Russian language ?

Do you know Russian language ?

I do, but it's written in broken Russian... Do you want me to translate it?

thanks baroutologos

can u give me detail diagram

thanks

Yes,please. I know Russian just a bit but was unsuccessful in translation. However that document contains some very interesting informations about Don Smith method.I think so.

I'll translate as soon as I get some time... (this week)

I'm not sure if I understood that text but I found interesting what it states about neon transformer dimmer.It seems it is used not to change voltage output but rather to set pulsing frequency send to capacitor in Smith primary circuit. That alone and schematic from this article was enough good information, maybe there is more...

[MrMagAmp]

I don't know if this has been said, but the first part of the D.Smith device is exactly a Tesla Hairpin Circuit (a.ka. Tesla Impedance Coil)
Look the pictures:

There is other option, and it's using a Bedini Solid State. You can charge a cap with radiant energy, and then discharge it into a tesla coil. The secondary of the tesla coil (radiant energy amplified) then is sent to a capacitor bank.

Remember that radiant energy is the only kind of energy that can be amplified (COP>1). In the electromagnetic energy you will have the same problem--> Amperes and Voltage. But radiant energy is pure voltage.

hi, using the following circuit ( taken from OU.com )..

--------------------------------
! ! !
<- output ! !
<-- transformer capacitor coil
! ! !
! ! !
---X---o o--------------------

the cap is a 2,000V micro wave cap, spark gap is a crappy brass concoction, coil is a 10m length of speaker cable (dual wires).

X is where a ground-earth wire is connected. output transformer is a 240 ->24V , going to a FWBR to a cap with a 100 Ohm resistor across it.

with the spark gap closed i get 0 V across the resistor.

spark gap sparking i get between 1.5V and 3.5V depending on how i set the spark gap.

spark gap completely open, ie about 3mm or more between the terminals...i get almost 6V across the resistor.

when i disconnect the earth lead it drops to about 1.7V

coil

is this working coil ?????

can i do like this ?????
