TL494 flyback driver

It took some years and someone recently bumping up my old thread about this project for me to write up a article, find the pictures, make a video and get it on here.

DRSSTC III update

Being the lucky person to suffer from having a work, there is little time to maintain building on all the high voltages apparatuses. None the less there is still progress and here is some of it for the large DRSSTC currently under way.

All the pictures can be seen at the bottom of the page: http://kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/tesla-coils/kaizer-drsstc-iii/

Royer induction heater – first test

This is the first test run of a royer induction heater running at 650 Watt, there is heavy voltage sag on the DC supply. The heated bolt is a M10x20mm. More to come when improvements are carried out.

Another TV lives again!

I received a broken 27″ LCD TV and repaired it. Read the whole article in order to see how it was done and how cheap it was done.

4000 joule capacitor bank fired at maximum energy

This afternoon I had my current monitor and oscilloscope hooked up to the capacitor bank to do current measurements of the short circuit energy. The results and pictures are amazing and I am thrilled by the magnitude of the pulse discharges.

First shot with 4000 joule capacitor bank!

Today I put the last parts together on small project with a large impact. A 4000 joule capacitor bank able of delivering destructive short circuit currents in the thousands.

The first test was only done at 1kj to ensure that everything works and I will then slowly step up the energy charge with further experiments where measurements will be carried out too.

Finn Hammer and Daniel Uhrenholt show in Fredericia, Denmark.

I went to visit Finn Hammer and Daniel Uhrenholt when they were doing a show in Fredericia, Denmark at Tøjhuset as a part of a electrical car and alternative energy convention.

A few pictures from around the event. Among a couple of Tesla Roadsters.

Video of Daniels coil performing a short midi medley.

Kaizer DRSSTC II playing Doom 1 – Episode 1

First song played on one of my DRSSTCs is the legendary soundtrack from Doom 1 – Episode 1, this is not only cool but brings me back to a childhood where it was normal to run around with a chainsaw killing monsters! I hope you enjoy this video :)

This video is located at the bottom of the article for the Kaizer DRSSTC II: http://kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/tesla-coils/kaizer-drsstc-ii/

Kaizer DRSSTC III – progress update

Here is a small update with some of the work that have been done on the large DRSSTC. This is my first project where I will post information and pictures about the progress as the project goes along. Normally I finish a project before doing the write-up for the homepage.

This update will show you the secondary coil that is almost done and the primary supports that was a failure.
