How To Build A Ignition Coil Driver
Check out the step-by-step video to build this circuit: A very simple 555 timer driver circuit powering an old ignition coil with some.
How To Make Ignition Coil Driver
If you build an ignition coil driver to make high voltage sparks and arcs, you will need some sort of EMI protection for your circuit. Without it, it is very likely you will destroy the transistors or driver ICs. This ignition coil driver is a HOT one! From my recollection, it delivers a nastier spark than the legendary Ford Model T ignition coil. The circuit uses an inverted 555 oscillator that is coupled to an ON Semiconductor BU323Z Darlington transistor (350V, 10A) that drives a conventional inductive discharge ignition coil. OK, an ignition coi l (or spark coil) is a type of induction coil similar to a Tesla coil. It's used in combustion engines. And produces up to 50,000 volts (a 2-4CM spark) at a lethal current of 25ma. The enable pin allows to externally block the switch when the input is on. A built-in protection circuit for coil current limit ing and collector voltage clamping allows the device to be used as a smart, high voltage, high current interface in advanced electronic ignition systems.

First some safety issues; this project runs off 240v AC or 120v AC so please be very careful as house hold current can kill instantly, if you touch a live wire your hand will grab the wire and you wont be able to let go. I found this out the hard way. So do not make the same mistake as me. Oh when sparks jump to the earth they generate ozone which can kill if you breath in to much , only small amounts exist in this case. I am not responsible if any property of yours is damaged or you or some one is injured in the process of making this.
To make this the components you will require are:
An ignition coil the old sort.
A light dimmer preferably over 1.5amps or 400w
Wire any sort
A large light globe incandescent for the plasma globe
A container if your making a plasma globe
A cord that can plug in to the power point, please don't take the one of the TV or fridge find an old one that is no longer needed.
Some oil and a jar if you have a low rated dimmer.
A hot glue gun is very handy in making something like this.
