    Maybe you have yes, access to a computer junk yard? If yes, get an UPS and take the transformer from it. They are usually center taped. If not, you will need a different circuit that can switch polarities, or just simply pulse it with DC pulses, will also work, but I am not sure how well. Unfortunately I don't know about circuits that can switch the polarity.

    Yeah Greg, that is the same circuit, it is so simple and works really well and you can easily adjust the frequency and other things with it. It can also be made very small so that the whole thing including the transformer is just a little bigger than the transistor itself

    Hi Greg,
    It's been a long time. My memory has faded but I thought your charge pump was based on a "H" bridge configuration. I can't find it in my folder, I'm sure I had it somewhere. Anyway, I would be grateful if you could post it again. I hope your keeping well.

    Regards Lee.

    So you both like that one? I tried a variation of that beacuse when looking
    at Gray's old possible influence from tube radio days, they had the
    choppers kind of like that. I was very disappointed with the results I
    got from it. Then again, the circuit I was using had 4 npn's. I might have
    to try this variation, probably much better if it worked for you all.

    hi xack. did you install this plasma circuit to your car? did you experience power increase?

    thanks.. what can i do with this one. or just throw it away and buy new one?

    The word is "Center Tap"

    If your high voltage output from the ignition coil of positive or negative polarity? I would lose the inductor and put the diode string on the positive line and the other way around Did you use this on a running car or on a bench setup?

    Here is what I am using and what has worked well so far:


    But this is used only if the HV output is of positive polarity.
    Hope this helps.

    Maybe it does not burns with supersonic speed, but it can blow a air cleaner into pieces on a generator. It also blow most of the bubblers water back into the cell. I can just imagine what could happened if it was a small bubbler.

    Thank you for posting it here. I removed the post as I found that it was at the wrong thread in the middle of a squabble and I was looking for the right place to post it when I found your post.
    Do you think the idea can work? If so I will add all the components and build it .
    I have got a friend with a 100 plate Boyce cell that produce about 12 lpm on brute force 150V dc and I am sure it is enough to run his 5 kva generator if I can safely get rid of the waste spark.
    This great idea should work if you are persistent in solving problems, as electronics are not my expertise.
    Note that safety is first and that carbureted gasoline A/F mixture may have the same problem inside intake manifold when electronic ignition timing starts failing. Also brut force electrolysis does not produce hydrogen/oxygen mixture that burns with supersonic speed.

    Hi jetijs. Today i will buy parts needed to make oscillator circuit that u posted earlier. Is it ok to use mj2955 as the pnp transistor? Wish me luck.

    do you notice that one of this two videos makes bigger and louder plasma spark. i use different inductor. the smaller inductor makes more plasma than the one that use big transformer as inductor. inductance also effecting the plasma. i dont know. i dont have an inductance meter.

    Thank you for the videos
    The power gain really depends on a car. So far I have not tested the fuel economy on a car using plasma spark. I just put that on a car and could hear that the idle motor RPM's increased. I also used the plasma spark circuit on a genset and got 7% fuel economy. The real power shows when you combine plasma spark with water steam in the intake as Greg did some pages ago on this same topic. He got 46% fuel economy if I remember correctly
    Thanks!
