  • High Voltage | 555 Timer Plasma Speaker

    Posted by Chip Fixes on Saturday 26 March 2011 - 02:50:01
    You can use a gate drive transformer, but why? You only need to do that when you want to drive a high side mosfet. The 555 is not capable of adeq...

    ok so im waiting on another flyback because the one i have has a ferrite core that is to close to the plastic housing to wrap magnetic wire around,...

    Posted by Chip Fixes on Saturday 26 March 2011 - 02:50:01
    What would? Using a proper gate drive will keep the 555 from getting warm and may reduce mosfet heating due to it spending less time in the linear ran...

    Posted by Chip Fixes on Saturday 26 March 2011 - 02:50:01
    IT WORKS!!!! I re-built the circuit for the 555 and it works now! I think i just had my MOSFET hooked up wrong. But I do have arcing between the pins ...

    Posted by Chip Fixes on Saturday 26 March 2011 - 02:50:01
    ok, so i insulated all the pins on the bottom so no more arcing, and the sound quality is pretty darn good. I heatsinked the mosfet with an old proces...

    Increasing the voltage will also increase the load on the FET drastically. I literally had an icecube sitting on top of mine and it still blew when ...

    You'd get more volume if you put a voltage amplifier stage between your sound source and the ac coupling capacitor. A 741 configured for a gain of m...

    Posted by Chip Fixes on Saturday 26 March 2011 - 02:50:01
    The greatly increased heating is due to the FET absorbing the very high voltage spikes created which increase as you increase the supply voltage. If y...
