2n2222 is that a typo ?
OMG that's not right! No way that little plastic transistor could handle the power. It has been a while sincle I messed with that circuit. I can't remember which transistor I used, it was very similar to the 2N3055 but handled much more power. This is going to bug me now until I can figure out which one it was.
I just assembled the circuit using mje13003's from a CFL board. Used 7+7 turns and 3 for feedback wound on the inductor of the same CFL. Works well, at 12 volts produces about 550 volts. BTW, the diodes and toroid also came from the CFL :D, so you can buid a nice PS for small cap charging for almost nothing.

wow nice. cfl driver for parts isnt a bad idea u should make a tutorial on utube for beginers i remember opening up a cfl light and only remember there being 1 transistor but that was ages ago :)
In response to your latest video if the cap you removed was the one across the primery that sets the resinent frequency so removing it will significantly increase the frequency (and increase the pitch) and the bridge rectifier can only handle its maximum rated current with a resonobly large heat sink looks cool tho it looks as powerful as my zvs driver exept min uses 1 flyback I wonder how powerful it would be with 2
