Stuck on a flyback transformer project

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user seeking guidance for converting a flyback transformer with three outputs into a high-voltage power supply. The user expresses concern over safety and the difficulty of finding relevant tutorials for their specific transformer model. Respondents emphasize the dangers associated with high-voltage projects, particularly for inexperienced individuals, and advise against attempting such modifications. They recommend focusing on low-voltage projects to build experience before tackling high-voltage applications. Ultimately, the thread concludes with a warning about the risks involved.

i have a question if i may i have a flyback I am trying to turn into a power source but all the tutorials show a flyback that is way different than mine there's only has one wire out of the top mine has three one from the top and two on the side labeled screen and focus i really need a high voltage power supply but don't want to hurt myself does anyone know of a tutorial for one with three chords ??

Welcome to the PF.

Sorry, given your lack of experience, it would be very dangerous for you to be making your own high voltage power supply out of an old TV flyback transformer. Those things can be lethal when used incorrectly. You should also be focusing on low-voltage projects, until you gain more experience building circuits. Thread is closed.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
