Transformers (no, not the cars) are found everywhere. They are used for a plethora of power electronic functions such distributing power over long distances and even found in the power brick you use to charge your phone. These little guys are also good for creating interestingly looking arcs. This is an easy to build transformer based plasma arc generator. You can use it to light a cigarette, burn some paper, or just create an awesome looking arc. It comes with everything you need including the PCB, Mosfet,Transformer, and components.
Please note: This project produces a high voltage. Make sure to build with caution.
Difficulty Level:Intermediate Assembly Time: 10-20 minutes Instructions: Each component is listed on the PCB for easy reference and installation. Recommended Tools: Multimeter, Soldering iron, spare wire. Dissipation Power: 8W Output Voltage: 15KV DC Supply Voltage: 3.7VDC - 4.2VDC (18650 cell for best results)

Finished this project rn. Wrapped electrical tape around it so I don’t touch the contacts. Creates a nice looking purple plasma arc. You can even smell the burning ozone after. I would def recommend this project for beginners. You learn a thing or two about transformers and plasma.
