Basic Slayer Exciter Sstc

While trying to build a SSTC I discovered that I could create something very simple, using a Buck converter. No interrupter, No Gate Drive, Single Mosfet.

Components

2 x 1k or single 2k

1 x 500 ohm POT

1 x IRF250P n MOSFET

1 x Small LED

1x 670 nf 400 volt Capacitor

1 x Heat sink

Circuit Board

Buck Step-up converter DC-DC 12-80 Volt 500 watt

backup fuse 8 amp

Power 12 Volt 7 amp battery

--------------------------------------

Coils

2mm Wire 1 mtr

.1 mm wire 100 mtr

PVC Tube 30mm

PVC Tube 40mm

PVC board

Wood Base

Screws for mounting

2 x clear nail gloss

Primary Wire 2mm,5 Turns Wd 55mm

Secondary .1mm 1200 Turns

Secondary no cross overs or kinks, immediately gloss when completed.

Primary to be constructed on PVC as shown in image.

Follow the circuit diagram.

A very simple circuit connected directly to the Buck Step-Up output.

Tune the coil

Important you will not increase the Arcś without the correct primary secondary tuning.

The Buck step up must be set to 40 volts for tuning the primary connection.

I used the third turn however this may may differ so tap the primary and test to find the best output.

Turn the 500 ohm pot when the spark discharge is longest this will change the frequency and spark length.

Buck converter Switching

Buck Amps also need to be adjusted so that the load/Slayer circuit, is just over the threshold.

this caused the buck to stop and restart at high frequency.

In truth, I don't expect the buck to last forever, switching high current and voltages, it's not designed for this.

Images and video are running at 70–80 volts.

SAFETY NOTE: Please do not attempt to recreate the experiments shown unless you are familiar with High Voltage Safety Techniques!

Next add the interrupter circuit to my design.
