Question:

Wiring a Flyback Transformer?

i have a flyback transformer that i want to make a tesla coil out of and i need a diagram for the wiring configuration.

Answer:

The modern flyback transformer is also used to generate the DC operating voltage for the TV set. You have a lot more wires than you need to use. You need to get a copy of the wiring from someplace like a Sears repair shop and hope you don't have a built-in high speed diode and filter cap in the same package. The last thing you need is to try to run your Tesla coil from a DC source on the primary. I believe Ramsey electronics makes a package Tesla kit that runs off a flyback. Your coil will not produce a very large brush discharge but it should be a good demonstrater which will have a safe, low current spark.
