Plasma Toroid Schematic Design

Currently, this PCB is in the TESTING Stages

Based off of the Circuit from Steve Ward and BackMacSci's Video, I decided to make my own PCB Design for the Circuit.

All Ideas to the Papers Are Linked Below

The Parts are as Follows:

  • Variable power supply / 50 - 100 W laptop power supply

  • 16 AWG copper wire or ¼” copper tubing (1 uH inductor)

  • 20-26 AWG copper wire (10 uH inductor) OR

      (Mouser #:  81-LQH32NH100J23L; Mfr. #: LQH32NH100J23L )
    
  • 2, 0.5W 1k resistors

      (Mouser #: 652-CHP0805AFX1001EL; Mfr. #: CHP0805AFX-1001ELF )
    
  • 10k potentiometer

      (Mouser #:  581-601030; Mfr. #: 601030 )
    
  • 100V, 1uF capacitor

      (Mouser #: 80-C1210C105K1RACTM; Mfr. #: C1210C105K1RACTM ) 
    
  • 4, 6kV, 33 pF ceramic dipped capacitors

      (Mouser #: 810-CC45SL3JD330JYGN; Mfr. #: CC45SL3JD330JYGNA )  
    
  • 2, 450V, 4.7 nF C0G 0805 SMD capacitors

      (Mouser #: 810-C2012C0G2W472JAA; Mfr. #: C2012C0G2W472J125AA )
    
  • FDA18N50 or FDH44N50 Mosfet

      (Mouser #: 512-FDA18N50; Mfr. #: FDA18N50 )
    
  • Mosfet hardware (for securing mosfet to the heatsink)

  • Large heatsink

  • 12V fan

  • Borosilicate glass globe filled with 15 torr xenon gas

  • Oscilloscope, multimeter, soldering iron
