Simple/powerful Flyback Driver from a Computer SMPS

I found a way to use a switch mode powersuply from an old computer i had laying araund as a spair. It is very easy to build and gives you 1-4 cm arcs with an input of abaut 4A.

Step 1 Warning!

This driver may under the right sercamstanses blow a fuse or eaven kill you.
DO NOT UNDER ANY SERCOMSATANSES TOCH THE HIGH VOLTAG OUT OF THE FLYBACK OR THE OUTPUT OF THE POWERSUPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damag that can hapen to the SMPS can be seen below.

P.S. dont use a powersuply that is over 200W else it can explode.

i will make a new instructable soon, on a new and inprovd method. that will not self distrukt, if there are any mistakes.

Just because you are Dyslexic does not mean you don't know how to properly use your computers spell Check Functions.

[sdobbie]

Did you proof read this?

[ARJOON]

lol it was a nice tible but errors on grammar made it a little......

[Justdoofus]

I appreciate your ible. I followed it throughly, However, I almost killed myself due to me not shorting the cap that was sitting in the monitor calling my name. (No, seriously, it gave me 'the look')

It's nice of you to take the time and write this. I'm really not trying to be a jerk, but you should consider learning to spell correctly if you expect someone to take you seriously. Would you trust someone that can barely form a sentence to tell you how to safely build a dangerous device? You seem intelligent, so at least use spell-check...

[TheDoci]

if you want to know why i spell badly, i will tell you. i have dyslexia.

[emcelhannon]

Anywon who can't think of more then one way to spell a werd has a week mind.

[Justdoofus]

You really need to leave people alone, As he said before he has Dyslexia, which is a development reading disorder or something of the sort. This may have been a year ago or so, but I can not help but to reply and say how foolish you are to make fun of someone who simply cannot spell correctly.. So what? I have dyslexic friends who can't spell right, but I don't make fun of them. People like you really ruin the fun on Do It Yourself sites and Video Sharing websites such as Youtube.


(btw, learn to spell, emcelhannon. *wink*)

[TheDoci]

will do.

[karossii]

Agreed.
