High voltage switching power supply

Simple 555 timer based circuit is designed to be efficient and reliable.
Some of the points discussed is using a large value supply rail decoupling capacitor, damper diode to handle the negative going pulse and a flyback timing capacitor to control the positive going flyback pulse.

    Flyback driver… arc is about 20kV

    looks like a simplified pulse width modulator

    cheers bloke hey if you raise your frequency
    above an audible level you can then modulate music through the plasma arc it’s pretty cool
    something to play with ;)

    Well, I don’t like your shaky camerawork but you’re doing a good job explaining the circuit. How about some stars ;)
