Step 2Schematics
I got the idea from scopeboy's website on his flyback driver section, but the schematic was quite complex and buying four MOSFET's is a little too expensive for me...
So I simplified the design to using one MOSFET.
I get a lot of complainants of this project is not working very well or at all. This new design WORKs, however, for most people it may not work. This is due to the MOSFET (and some other components) is poor quality.
I just recently found out that manufacture who makes the components sell the best quality ones to other manufactures and sell the poorer quality ones to the whole sellers and retailers. For this project, the best grade MOSFET's is critical, and it can only be gotten by salvaging old electronic devices, unless you are willing to pay for thousands of components for the manufacture... :-)

i have ordered a flyback but it doesn't arrive yet ! i have made the circuits but have no clue to test the circuit ..!???
how can i test it when flyback is not in it's place ???????????
waiting for your kind help :)
ALSO
if this your first flyback project, try something smaller and easier. Not that you cant do it, but because if theres an issue then you will be able to diagnose it easier and definitely safer without giving yourself a good, high frequency, high voltage ZAP. My first project was a marx generator, but because i was inexperienced at the time, i had a problem and no idea what it was - so i gave up and put it aside. it wasnt until over a month later until i gave it a properly improper ground (my body - BIG MISTAKE) and got it working.
anyway, learn about modulation, how to modulate, and why transistors are so important.
then start off by getting a few NE555 timers. Learn how to adjust them to play high and low frequencies through a speaker, and then one day you can connect an audio out to pin 5 on that (hint hint) and make it play sound. then even further, you can put a transistor and a flyback on there and make another plasma speaker :)

i went over the diagram hundreds of times but it don't work
im frustrated..............................
please help.
sorry......
great circut !!!!!
thank you
unless you can find the data sheet then its really easy.

Another small point to add if i may, i did a little google because something didn't look right and i wasnt sure what, practically every circuit for an EHT flyback generator had a flyback suppression capacitor across the UF4007
I also tend to agree with electrojohn and his comments.
I had heard of these systems, but never seen one in operation until i saw your video, and was i impressed!!
