Flybacks you say?..

A small update, I don't have a picture of it but it's something i'll leave to the imagination at this point. A little bit ago I went to the thrift store and bought a few things that I found randomly. Two fo the things were useful, the third has yet to be determined. One of these things was a larger white modern flyback transformer. I was suprised to see it in this little briefcase with other random electronics. I got it and without even increasing voltage or winding my own primaries around the ferrite I was arcing easily over 1 1/4"

I though it was neat, especially since there's so much potential that it's arcing to the other pins from my connected ground pin. If i really wanted to be creative i could put the two i've got in series, but I don't feel like building another driver circuit. that and I lack the parts, because as soon as I gutted my old soldering job i tossed the board with the rest of the parts I didn't want to bother de-soldering.

Okay, i'm done for now
