Dear Group,
I have a large thyratron I purchased years ago and want to build a coil
with it.
Does anyone have a schematic for a relaxation circuit around (to suit a
tesla coil)? I was think of using neon bulbs after a megaohm resistor to
create a relaxation oscillator to trigger it.
I used florescent bulb starters once after a megaomh resistor to trigger a
relay which dumped 400v from a 20000uf capacitor bank into a ignition coil
which had a capacitor in parallel to the primary. It would produce a loud
thump every 5s and a large discharge about 5cm...
The relays soon died but the discharge into the concrete was impressive :)
Hoping to pull off the same thing again but with a higher cyclic rate. I
want to produce impulse currents.
Any ideas would be welcome. I only have mots for a power supply...
Cheers!
-Wil
