Still trying to get hold of an ignition coil so I can built this Imhotep Radiant Oscillator Lite.
I also just would like to add a link I came across while searching for information on ignition coils. There I came across a circuit using the 555 timer IC in conjunction with a 2N3055 transistor to pulse an ignition coil. The link is http://www.geocities.com/mistertippy.../ignition.html

Great to know you are keen and raring to go!
Are you aware that the initial idea for the *Imhotep Radiant Oscillator Lite* [Light?] used a 12v relay?
You may find that easier to acquire and play with until you can find an ignition coil.

Glowman,
Welcome. Thank you for posting that link. That really helped. The 555 timer circuit is what I have been looking for because it is designed for our application and gave all the parts values. The Jacob's Ladder projects on YouTube show alot of similarity to what we are doing here. I found a video that showed what the spark discharge looks like and SOUNDS like at different frequencies. For those of us without "O Silly Scopes" and just our ears maybe this will help. YouTube - Ignition Coil PWM Driver

Man!
I built the Bodkins Lid motor and Mart shocker circuit , and I am having fond memories of being on the farm and having the electric fence nail me a few times he he.
This is SOOO wierd and is the most fun I have had with a circuit since the first SSG I built.
I went to measure voltage, and my volt meter is going crazy. Going to grab my analog one. Every time I go to remove the power from the source battery ZAPPP!. I am going for my rocker off on switch. Also to note if I put only one connection of the volt meter to primary battery positive there is an arc about 1/16 of an inch long! with the volt meter off!
Wow. I just smoked my circuit making lightning @ 36 v. Lots of fun till it popped. Mini plasma cutter
Ren,
Don't feel bad I did the 555 circuit today thay was posted above and fried 2 nice 555 chips. I got it to work but messed it up by trying to get the earth ground hooked up. Amp draw was too high also and I don't know why.
Congratulations to everybody who is working on this project. I'm sure that Imhotep, Peter, and Tesla approve of the effort.
I'm about to start a new thread called " Rubber glove phenomenon" Everybody watch your fingers!!
Lid this is where the knowledge from the cap pulser can be implemented! Frying 555's? Probably because your 555 is directly connected to the source/ignition coil. Hmmmm.....how did JB get around that on his schematic

Good work Bodkins. The ground rods are going to be different for everyone, as each of them will exhibit different levels of capacitance I think. Confirms what AC was talking about before That cap is charging up pretty fast, need to think of a way to dump it somewhere now
Oh and in regards to my previous post, OPTO ISOLATOR (h11d1)

the cap keeps going up and up and up 200v i stop it. AC Was Spot on
if not in tune it stops at some point. because of the limited push of the positive from the ignition coil hv.
Roxaz find a computer. watch it and smile!!!!!
Byjove cheers for sending people on the path!
Glowman think about ignition packs.
Can anyone talk to Drevtoobe on you tube he thinks that he can explain the effect!!
i dont agree!!
Lot's of people don't sleep here and we seem to forget our age. or...time !
and thanks for the link.
nat1971a: congratulation for your successful replication. don't forget to sleep !
Lidmotor: your "grounding rod" is what surprised me, considering its form and length. Sometimes i think about the alkalinity/acidity of the ground and the percentage of moisture.
