I gotz me a new toy!! hehehe ....

i got a flyback out of a mini tv.how do i drive it.

"Very Carefully"?

Um yeah, I saw the vid with the pliers too! That arc could easily jump out and grab him, no probs. Since I already have a NST (Still dangerous, but about 78X less dangerous than this thing), I will just stick to that for HV. If I get shockec by the NST (Which I already have.... there was a aweful lot of swearing going on after that), atleast the chance of death is not as likely. Touch the MOT, = dead for sure!

I am quite curios to what I can do with like 671 amps, tho I havent even started dissecting the secondary yet :-X

With 671 amps and you could make a bitchin electromagnet Just don't fire it up near a computer

Or you could hook up the magnetron and a waveguide to make a HERF [smiley=laugh.gif]

Oops, ive already ripped the magnetron for magnets LOL!

Anyone got any ideas as to how I could get the secondary off? I need to leave the primary coil (The bottom coil) intact, but I need to completely remove the secondary.

Maybe you can come in here, Mario?

 

[digital_blue]

NOOOOO, another perfectly useful magnetron destroyed... You seriously shouldn't take it apart. From what I hear, the ceramic insulators sometimes contain beryllium oxide which will seriously screw you over...

 

[Things]

Theres nothing really usefull that you can use the magnetron for anyway, if I wanted to make a microwave gun, i'd have to get some special made parabolic reflectors, which will cost a fair bit of money.

You can make a spot welder!

Most people take the secondary off with a dremel or some sort of small saw, I think that's covered in the instructable.. I've even seen people string several of these together to make an arc welder, but to get a usable amount of current you need about a half a dozen microwaves.

Good luck!

Oh man, this thing running by itself @ 2A 2kV already started melting little pits in the transformer core LOL

Hey, does anyone know how I would go about powering this Transformer, I got it from a PC PSU .

thanks,

[ArRaY]

These transformers are not ment for high voltage...
Look up wikipedia atx power supply or something like that.
Do you know its specs?

/me

 

[diachi]

Nope, it has a laser inside the box now

Not that it matters, I was just wondering If I could power it. And If I could how to go about it

thanks,

Best improvement that was possible.
If I think about it, name me one thing where adding a laser is no improvement ;D

A chicken sandwich...

 

[diachi]

That would still be an improvement

That little transformer is most likely just a tiny stepdown transformer. Since the PSU's are switchmode, they run at a higher frequency, so the transformer can be smaller. They are designed to run on high frequency, not all that useful.
