re(updated) Simple flyback driver

 by Alex McCown

Step 2: Winding the flyback

Grab your flyback and some of that mag wire and pliers and have a seat


Bend the tip of the wire a little bit and wrap the wire around the ferrite core (see the pics for help) 5 times for the feedback and 15-20 times for the primary and burn the tips with a torch or a lighter to burn off some of the insulation on the wire so your wires can get a good connection also dab some salder on the wire if the salder sticks you have a connection (see the pics)

if you want to use higher amps use thicker copper wire you only need 5 turn primary and 10 turn secondary

I tried winding a flyback like you said but the core is too close to this box thing on the flyback and I cant wind it so maybe you can tell me how to make it easier.

you could just get thinner wire, or you may have to find a different flyback if the core is to close to the "box thing" (i wonder what the box thing is called

You can use a round ferrite core with 2 windings, 1 in series with flyback primary. Or a transformator with 2 windings, just the same. =)

i use that on mine, and it works great.

why you using 300 amps??!?!?!?!

He probably meant 300 amp hours? Since that is a battery life unit.

Yes, lol.

one thing is you don't need any blow torch or fire to strip a wire, thats what wire strippers are for, and solder is not spelled salder.

you can use a lighter to strip enameled wire, its probably the most efficient but otherwise your right i would use strippers or a dike to pull of the insulation on standard wire

does this look right?
