To powerful, to fast. I think the main reason is that a lightning strike is a few billion volts and only last for a fraction second, id like to see someone try to harnass the sort of power without blowing the absolute crap out of something.
Thanks This is the Circuit I plan to use partly my design and partly not. Diode pot configuration alows for independant control over the high and low pulse duration and R2 ajust the over all frequency. havent decided on the best valuse yet.
Thanks for the help, so using the transistor mentioned or something similar, with the 555 pulse to the base and the emmiter to the base of the power transistor, or would i need a slightly more complex cicuit. If someone tells me how to post a picture that i have on my PC, i will post a schematic...
I buit a driver for an ignition coil where the out put goes directly to the base of a 2n3055 transitor to triger the pulses through the coil and it dosent work.The spark is so pitiful that I'd fell safe putting the HV wire in my mouth (not recomended) The 2n3055 transistor is rated at 15A and...
