This instructable is the seventh one that I made. This instructable is about how to make a fly back transformer driver. There are two that I will show, one that is mechanical, and one that is solid-state (for the more technologically advanced).

My inspiration for this instructable was that I made a mechanical driver, then it died; so I bought another one but decided to make a solid-state one. Warning: this instructable deals with high voltage, so you could get shocked and potentially killed. I take no responsibility for any damage, injury, or death. The picture you see on this page is copied and pasted from Google, so it's not this good or high power. These are the parts that you need for the solid state driver. The pros are that it makes bigger sparks. The cons are that it's harder to make.
