The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.
Hi coilers, i want to build my third one ( ) TC... today i just wind the secondary, for primary i dont have wire so it must wait some time... It is winded with 0.1mm wire (that is 0.01cm, i dunno what it is in inches...) and it is 22 cm long, diameter 4cm on PVC tube, it has 550ohms (i know... too bad)... I want to drive it on single 12V (but 10A) power source (it is switching source btw)...
for it i want use some mosfets 2 or 4, connected to half or full bridge. The ones i currently have are irfs630A, will they be good?
And ... i need some principal schematics for oscillator etc, because i dont know how can i get good frequency for resonation (no oscilloscope) and i dont have any sine generator either.
Ideally mosfets could switch 12V, but i can get higher voltage only with multipliers and transformers, but they are too weak to provide high energy for TC...
can somebody help?
I dont have primary plans either, so it will be something like do and try, if no - try again. (hope you understand me )
i am sorry, i posted it to wrong site... plz. move it to TC :) thanks
I am working out on translation (even Hungary is our next state) but did somebody tried schematics?
as i was looking on it, i probably found mistake at:
that 5 diodes on down-center (1N4007) 4 are connected serial and one (bottom one; D10) is connected anti-serial to anothers... is that good or just mistake of autor?

The yellow framed part is an "amplified zener" that he suggests as an alternative to the two series 1k 1W resistors. I don't know a word of whatever language it is, but I imagine the transistor needs to be on a heatsink.
You're unlikely to kill anything with "current spikes" (whatever those actually are) as long as you connect all grounds in the circuit solidly to the same point. Grounding half of it to one thing and the rest to another thing is asking for trouble.
