Destroying a 555 timer

Description: A battery powered oscillator runs an ignition coil whose output is rectified and used to charge a bank of capacitors which discharges through a 555 timer which was previously used in the oscillator but fried due to back EMF from the ignition coil, a problem which has since been solved with a diode and capacitor.

wiltors ::: Favorites made in japan, blown up in america. that's how it works now days isnt it? 07-06-07 02:43:41 __________________________________________________
BlkSerialKilla ::: Favorites lol that explains it , I used a ceramic cap rated for 630 volts and charged it with a pair of ignition coils that were driven by a 555 timer and power transitor. Had to use a high voltage rectifier from a microwave oven. I should show you the video sometime :) 07-01-01 12:08:26 __________________________________________________
BlkSerialKilla ::: Favorites I dare you to charge a ceramic cap up with your device, If you use high voltage diodes you just may be able to blow the ceramic cap :) 06-12-30 19:48:22 __________________________________________________
majorvoltage ::: Favorites The bank of capacitors in the video are ceramic caps rated for 30kV. 06-12-31 01:55:16 __________________________________________________

boxa888 ::: Favorites yea lol i was just kidding i like wat ur doing thats cool 06-11-15 11:29:47 __________________________________________________
boxa888 ::: Favorites hey awesome man poor 555 chip it never got to make a pulse lol 06-11-02 00:14:14 __________________________________________________
majorvoltage ::: Favorites The timer had ran for a while in the circuit but it got fried. Rather than just throwing it out, I thought I'd have a little fun with it :-) 06-11-14 12:39:37 __________________________________________________
