Re: How to power a fusor with a Zvs Driver
Well John as for my introduction I am a Pakistani, My name is Hamza Yousuf,and I am making a demo fusor as my project for a expo at my school.I have made the fusor and decided to power it with a Z.V.S driver but i am having trouble at powering it.I dont know how to connect the zvs driver to the fusor.
Re: How to power a fusor with a Zvs Driver
Your ZVS driver has to feed a high voltage coil. The output of the coil is usually rectified, then connected to the H.V. feed-through on your fusor.
You should start by reading the FAQs on this site. Then do a search for "demo fusor" and look through some old posts for common problems.
There is a lot of information you will need to learn quickly in order to make a successful demo fusor.
Maybe a moderator can move this thread to the new user area.

Re: How to power a fusor with a Zvs Driver
Hello,
Working under time pressure is always a problem, but building a fusor leads to many unexpected problems. Usually you use a zvs to power a flyback (or a selfmade transformer with ferrite core). Simply connect the zvs with the primary coil (make 6 windings about the core).
Unfortunately the modern flybacks built since 1990 usually are DC-flybacks with positive High Voltage. These flybacks can't be used to power a fusor.
Instead of a zvs i would use a transformer with iron core. You can find them on ebay and for a demo fusor you don't have to rectify the voltage. Your transformer should deliver at least < 3kV and a few mA. Especially look for oil burner ignition transformer (OBIT) or Neon sign transformer (NST)
. Be careful with High voltage and good Luck.
