i am making attempting to make a tesla using two disposable trigger transformers wired together which are then connected to a cockroft walton circuit my problem is how do i wire the trigger transformers togther .can i just connect the two outputs together and connect it to cwm circuit

Please, define "tesla", and post the diagram, i'm sure that we can help you.

This circuit is a voltage multiplier, be carefull with this. You need specify if is Simple Wave or Double.

it is a stgc circuit i am trying to make using 2 camera flash boards with the outputs of the trigger transformers going to a voltage mutiplier circuit .just not sure how to connect the transformer outputs together not sure but i think it will be a simple wave
saw a similar by johnny davro on the net

why two?

i think that, if is a simple wave, you can connect the output of flash camera in the input of your voltage multiplier, because the multiplier input is AC current , you have to look what are the correct terminals on your flash camera.

forgiveness, is better documented nievesoliveras, and more faster

so does that mean i can connect the output of 2 trigger transformers together and have a singlewire goihg to the voltage mutiplier .will that double the power going to voltage mutiplier so reducing the number of stages i need to obtain high kv going to the tesla coil

hope it is alright to post this here.. just didn't want to make a new thread and this one is very much the same thing..

just don't get to close as i did.. i was over 4 inches away and it got me.. hahaha
i'll post a schematic later when i make one.. it not like my jt toroid circuit like in my first videos
but it is very much a stungun circuit or strobe light circuit..

heres the video..

High voltage is measured by the inch.
Those sparks looks about three inches long.
So there are a lot of kilovolts on that.

I dont remember how many kv per inch.

Specifically for the making of a trigger circuit there is this instructable
I do expect I have copied the right link.

jesus,
i think it is 30,000 volts per cm..
the spark on the coil is 5.58 cm
and the spark that hit me was 11.4 cm..
but anyway i drawed up a schematic.. below

@kooler
If the current was much higher, you might've been killed.
I strongly prefer low voltage applications for that reason. When I have trained experience and more freedom in a better living situation, I might experiment with high voltage.

You were lucky that time. However, I liked your circuit so well, I downloaded a copy.

hahaha,
i was lucky 10 years ago while helping a friend work on oil furnances.. he said just pull the door and motor out and the safety switch will keep it from coming on while you replace the nozzle.. the safety switch was junk cuz i know what 10,000 volts at 23 ma's feels like on my elbow ..
i had to put some new paneling in this old ladies trailer because of that mistake.. she didn't care if i died.. as long as i got that paneling replaced first.. haha
i'm just a dumb old country boy .. right..?

Thanks @kooler!

The first transformer on the circuit. Is it a commercial one or you built it?

kooler · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:29:18 AM »

i got it out of a dell crt monitor.. it doesn't have any markings on it.. just yellow tape
i got a couple of them..
you really don't need the center tap with resistor on the secondary i just used for a cap bleed..
i'm careless enough .. so i put it there so i would get shocked

I imagine the transformer was on the electric starter to spark the oil fumes and light them off? My aunt and uncle had an electric-fired gas furnace in central Ohio. In winter, when the power was out from blizzard-felled trees, they got cold---no power to light the furnace. Nothing they could do.

I used to live in the rural county of Ohio and Oklahoma, but I see what you mean.

I always tried to be careful when working on line voltage. My Dad was a part-time TV repairman, so old-fashioned CRT picture tubes can be real dangerous. I know first hand.

Just look out. That goes for everyone.
