I dusted off the SassyClassE sstc for some experimentation, so I thought I’d do a “show and tell” of its components and operation. Erratum: It’s either efficient, or it’s not. At around 8 minutes…
WARNING: FLASHING LIGHTS and FLICKER thruout this whole video. Please DO NOT WATCH if you have epilepsy or other seizure disorder or are sensitive to flickering lights. If you feel nauseous LOOK AWAY. Here…

The Flyback transformer is driven by a dedicated Royer oscillator Zero Voltage Switching configuration. I used 2 x IRFP260n mosfets, but I also tried IRFP460 which work but get warmer in operation. A few…
WARNING: BRIGHT FLICKERING FLASHING LIGHTS Please Don’t Watch if you are sensitive to flicker, flashing lights or have epilepsy. Here’s another tour of the water-drop triggered spark gap experiment, showing the effect of the…
I show the effect of added capacitance on the psarks (arcing sparks, tm TKLabs) emitted by the Flyback driven by the ZVS Royer oscillator. I have about a hundred of those 400 pF, 30kV…
A new Jacob’s Ladder electrode set, more bigger, to show off the psarks given off from the flyback in oil. This flyback transformer was removed from the carcass of a big Mitsubishi television set…
A friend gave me a nice glass sphere, designed as a deep submersible capsule for oceanic research. It’s heavy glass with a ground-glass equatorial mating seam. The label says it’s been tested to some…
So….. with positive output from the flyback to the center polished sphere, and the negative to either a metal disc or a copper tube bent into a partial ring, I do some demos and…
