From the project
Version one of the Ki-Cad schematics and PCB layout of the Plasma Toroid generator driver circuits.
Version one of the Ki-Cad schematics and PCB layout of the Plasma Toroid generator driver circuits.
Also included are the Gerber files and interactive BOM generated by Ki-Cad.
Included is a simulation in LT spice of the driver circuit with no load. This circuit oscillates as expected, however a simulation of the plasma load needs to be added for completion.
