The 12V supply is separately filtered through L1 and capacitor to supply U4, the MOSFET gate driver. The 5V supply is created by U1 that feeds the low power comparator and OpAmp circuits.
#SLAYER EXCITER WITH MOSFET FULL#
Originally I wanted to use my Full Bridge Rectifier and run VSUP at 170VDC rectifying the 120VAC. You can also make the 12V from VSUP using an on board inverter. This circuit takes two input supplies, one at 12V at J1 connector, for which I used a 12V wall adapter, and VSUP, which I used my lab power supply at 32V for this video. Below is the schematic of the circuit I designed. Having a solid state driver, like a slayer exciter or the one I explain below, you can run your circuit continuously at the resonance frequency using the fast circuitry that can oscillate at coil’s resonance frequency. The super loud noise of this type is simply because you have a lightening every 100Hz or 120Hz. Now the capacitor is across the primary which will oscillate at the secondary resonance frequency, transferring all that energy and creates a super huge voltage on the output of secondary. The ionized air of the spark gap shorts air, and the HV capacitor to the primary of the Tesla coil. In every cycle of the AC, the capacitor voltage reaches very high voltage twice (negative and positive peaks),which is enough to break through the spark gap. In this type, the AC power input which is typically at 50Hz or 60Hz is amplified by a transformer to thousands of volts, which charges the high voltage (HV) capacitive. It is still a very practical method when you need to make extremely large voltages. In old time Tesla coils or spark gap type in general, a capacitance is also added on the primary side that is tuned to resonate with the primary inductance at the same exact frequency. Now for the primary to be able to transfer the maximum power to the secondary and radiate it to the air, primary must also oscillate at the same exact frequency.

That frequency is : Where f is frequency, L is the inductance and C is the capacitance. This capacitance and secondary inductance create a sharp resonance frequency, which is very sharp! It basically means that only at that resonance frequency you will have a virtually infinite impedance, where all the energy can be radiated in the surrounding world. But what you should know is that every inductor has a stray capacitive component and every capacitor has a stray inductive component.įor the secondary we intentionally increase the capacitance by adding the top load (the toroid on the top) which crease capacitance to the surrounding material. If you go back and read my Slayer Exciter article, there I explained that it is made of two windings, a primary with very few turns (around 10), and a secondary with many turns (around 1000 and above).
#SLAYER EXCITER WITH MOSFET SKIN#
This circuit can burn your skin badly (see picture at the end).All my touch screens were messed up being within a meter of the coil. The radiation from this device can easily interfere with electronic devices, like pace makers.
