How to make a High Voltage Transformer

In this video I show how to make a multi section high voltage transformer, ferrite core from old TV and 32 gauge copper wire.

More information in the instructables:

I too flip off my projects when they're not cooperating.

I don't have access to a 3d printer but im an engineer with lathe access so im going to make a bobbin based on your design from solid stock nylon. really like your design and have a load of flybacks from old tvs that i have stripped but as with you, i need HV AC not DC for many of my projects so your design is mint.

[SaltGrains_Fready]

Use No 40 wire with 11% more space between core and base of winding. Reduce Space between individual windings by 35% and you will get 25% more sets of windings and 60% more turns onto the configuration. This will provide output of more voltage with less driver current.

Nice video! !
Can you please make a video on Arduino driver you use.
Thums up for you! !

These high voltage transformers are like magic in how it can turn low voltage into high voltage, really impresses me,

[tefatronix]

Very nice job! The finished transformer looks great and works great too :)

Really cool, im going to try this, I dont have a 3D printer, but i have a lathe I will just turn a similar piece and mill out the slots in the plastic. I’m thinking of just using a simple 40amp DC PWM speed controller to control the frequency for now. It doesn’t have to be super precise. I have a few projects I need some REALLY high voltage for. Thank you for this video and construction techniques

does the direction winding relatif to the primary matter in flyback transformer?

[johnruscigno]

You made a fly back transformer, they're awesome for generating arcs.

[nanoindus]

nice one!
I have a question. How do take the wire from one section to another section? I see there are slots accross the section. the last turn of a section has higher voltage than the first turn of the section. When we take the last turn of one section to first turn / layer of the next section, there will be large voltage differences. Does it not cause arcing through copper wire insulation?

[KashmirPL]

please show how to build driver to control frequency

Привет, хорошее видео, меня интересует какую программу ты взял для анимации, 3д конечно бюджетную спасибо заранее

"A good idea is to use xxx - but I don't have it" ... LOL

[RickGreenPhoto]

I like it! You made a great video! I am kicking myself now for throwing my old laser power supply transformer in the trash :)

[worroSfOretsevraH]

What is the purpose of multiple slots on the high voltage winding? Can you share a link where I can read more about the theory? Thanks.

[armandinamontanez]

The images in the finish of you video it's so Bad

Bot you proyect it's so greate..

[trenthighvoltage]

"there are a few bubbles inside" there's also a lot of air still inside the windings. which will cause internal arcing almost instantly.

Sir I needed your help to solve my problem regarding this kind of coils

[DeepSingh-wott]

Hello Sir, I would like to request how to calculate for these windings? do you have any link to its calculations

[hassaneinshaban]

is there transformer can be connected to function generator and step up the voltage to 1 kv at frequency 1khz??
