This is a tutorial not a question.
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE CAN BE DANGEROUS IN ALL WAYS. ARCS AND SUCH CAN PRODUCE OZONE WHICH IS SERIOUSLY CORROSIVE. AND IS TOXIC. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU EVER EVER EVER DO WITH THIS INFORMATION I POSTED HERE
I don't know if this was discussed before or not. I just happen to know alot about high voltage. And it seems that you guys use high voltage for gas lasers.. So if you are interested in a DIY powersupply i can give you atleast.. Some steps..
First i don't know whether ac or dc is used with those lasers so i will post steps for booth.
First the easiest ( ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT ) the single transistor flyback transformer driver.
They commonly use a 2n3055 transistor which is dirt cheap.. The circuit is made of 3 components
2 resistors and that one transistor. The circuit is really easy to make. wont take a few mins..
Most modern flyback transformers can be had for like.. free or 1 or 2 bucks.. they output dc. For ac. You have to wind your own flyback transformers. You can just use some really simple mathematics to calculate the V/turn at a chosen frequency.. Use the frequency with the chosen driver. And voila.. If you need dc. Then be warned. The home made flyback transformer outputs in the kilo hertz range of frequency.. You can rectify it. with 4 proper diodes. And a capacitor if you desire.. But the capacitor part will be seriously hard though
For details on the single transistor driver.
POWERLABS' High Voltage Solid State Flyback Driver
Home made flyback. running on the single transistor driver i guess..

You might be wondering. I work on lasers. not with transformers..
Well
The Fryback! | Adam's Science Website
He was using the zvs driver. Made by something mazzili though.. don't remember also called the royer driver. And can be used for induction heating. too. but we will be discussing that sooner on
Here is the improved schematic for the single transistor.

The double transistor flyback driver. Never tried it.

Virtually just like the 2n3055 driver. Just with a completely different circuit. And higher power outputs. Also this circuit is prone to failure
You can use other transistors than the 2n3055. But use stronger. Not weaker
Now adjustable frequency drivers. Those can be audio modulated. And are the best if you are willing to count the v/turn at a desirable frequency.

Everything is stated there
Efficient PWM driver (flyback or other applications)
This to
REMEMBER.. with a modern flyback. Then high frequency is at the input. Not the output. i think though
Now the most powerful driver..
How To Build A Simple But Powerful Flyback Driver
The zvs driver. Everything is included there.
Now that is the END OF THE FLYBACK SECTION
Now to the microwave oven transformers
I was going to say the i am not responsible stuff at the beginning and at the end of the thread. But here i give you another one here because they are SO DANGEROUS One of the most dangerous things you can ever EVER mess with.. I am not responsible for your actions using this information
So as you guessed. You find those. in a microwave . You can also find a little neat inverter there. I never found one personally. so i don't really know.. But i think this should work tooo.... any way those transformers are really bulky heavy monster things. Those tiny bastards give you 2000 volts at about 500 ma. Some can spit a complete amp too. Very dangerous. You need about 10 ma to disturb the heart. ...
If you are not careful. Things like these could happen. in your brains
2 mot 6 cap sparks high voltage - YouTube
Don't get that scared. those are resonant arcs. The normal one doesn't output that. But that just gives you a idea how much to be scared of them.. The nice thing about them is that they need no driver
The maximum you can stack safely are 3 in series. Don't stack more as voltage will cause interlayer arcing. Really hot large arcs in the transformer. Btw a arc is a spark. That continues . Not for a micro second.
They output 50/60 herts
That's the end of this scary section. the mot section. In a language if you spell mot that means death
Now to a xray transformer. Those can output 160kv.. Are seriously expensive. And i doubt you would need them anyway. I never had one myself though. But i feel like i should just state it here though.
Dont read this section if you don't know what your doing. Seriously
There is a pole pig.
pole distribution transformer.
IS a transformer used to step down the high voltage from those noisy generators to a nice safe 120/220 volts at 50/60 herts
We use them in the opposite directions
instead of like 1 million volts in. and 120 out
its like 120 in and 1 million volts out. Now 1 million volts will never be the output. It's just a joke
Those monsters are filled with oil. Thier super heavy duty.
Rumors say that at resonance. Perfect unballasted resonance They output like 6 meters arcs. look but don't touch.. XD They don't need a driver though.
voltage multiplier. pulsed output. Can make a arc (continuous output) with a very high resistance resistor on the output.
High Voltage Power Supply For Marx Generator It is a voltage multiplier
MARX GENERATOR. For pulsed output only. This device is so so so so so so so so so so so so so dangerous. Capable of up to 10 million volts discharge at a few amps. Yes amps. and is capable of more too.
Build a simple Marx Generator
This is a simple quick and dirty one. If you make a dedicated one. The output is much higher. and the input shouldn't be a voltage multiplier only. IT can be a flyback transformer. Mot anything. just make sure the output of the thing to charge it is Dc
Well i can add more if you guys feel like i should.

All the credit for these informations goes to the great ones who teached me.
