Parts for Aubrey's Plasma Tube Driver

[Guest guest]

For those of you that want to build the toroidal transformer plasma

tube driver. Here is are some places which carry the (much easier to

get) FT240-43 toroidal core which Aubrey says works as well as the

one featured on his site.

also!)

Manufacturer of part no. FT240-43 (they may be able to help choose

a core which will operate at higher MHz freqs.) You can try other

manufacturers of toroidal cores - they may have more to choose from.

I recommend getting most of the other parts from www.mouser.com

They have an extremely good selection, at low prices.

The 1.25mm magnet wire can be subbed with no. 16 (1.32mm)

The 2.0mm magnet wire can be subbed with no. 14 (2.08mm)

Here is a 24V, 10A transformer, which will supply 20A at 12V when

using the center tap and 2 rectifier diodes. These are very hard

to find at this low price:

Contact me directly for locating large heat sinks, etc.

The MOSFET driver IC can be purchased from Digikey
