High Voltage Flyback Generator Part 2 (current measurement and circuit discussion)

Part 2 (this part) : I measure the current from the 20kV electrode (how much current does a TV picture tube use?) and I show how the flyback and deflection system of a vintage TV works and how that developed into some of the switching power supplies we use in our modern electronic devices. Part 1 (previous part) : I show you a high voltage generator (20kv) that I made many years ago by hacking apart the horizontal flyback section of an old tube TV set and do a few HV experiments (sparks, corona discharge, corona discharge motor and an electroscope).    • High Voltage Flyback Generator Part 1 (the...
