4. Components in Detail

IC NE 555 (Timer)
555 is a very commonly used IC for generating accurate timing pulses. It is an 8pin timer IC and has mainly two modes of operation: monostable and astable. In monostable mode time delay of the pulses can be precisely controlled by an external resistor and a capacitor whereas in astable mode the frequency & duty cycle are controlled by two external resistors and a capacitor. 555 is very commonly used for generating time delays and pulses.

Capacitors
Capacitor is a passive component used to store charge. The charge (q) stored in a capacitor is the product of its capacitance (C) value and the voltage (V) applied to it. Capacitors offer infinite reactance to zero frequency so they are used for blocking DC components or bypassing the AC signals. The capacitor undergoes through a recursive cycle of charging and discharging in AC circuits where the voltage and current across it depends on the RC time constant. For this reason, capacitors are used for smoothing power supply variations. Other uses include, coupling the various stages of audio system, tuning in radio circuits etc. These are used to store energy like in a camera flash.

Resistors
Resistor is a passive component used to control current in a circuit. Its resistance is given by the ratio of voltage applied across its terminals to the current passing through it. Thus a particular value of resistor, for fixed voltage, limits the current through it. They are omnipresent in the electronic circuits. The different value of resistances are used to limit the currents or get the desired voltage drop according to the current-voltage rating of the device to be connected in the circuit. Resistors can be either fixed or variable. The low power resistors are comparatively smaller in size than high power resistors. The resistance of a resistor can be estimated by their colour codes or can be measured by a multimeter. There are some non-linear resistors also whose resistance changes with temperature or light. Negative temperature coefficient (NTC), positive temperature coefficient (PTC) and light dependent resistor (LDR) are some such resistors. These special resistors are commonly used as sensors.

5. Working of the Circuit

6. Result
The circuit is designed for high voltage generation (15-50Kv). The generator ignite voltage spark upto 50 Kv and measured by special custom made probe before displayed the waveform on the oscilloscope. It act as a standard lightning surge model in the future if the original circuit is connected to certain specific route. It also will proceed as a tester in the electromagnetic compatibility and applied to the filtering part, where, by using Fourier series, we can develop a filter which can eliminate the unwanted frequency in the impulse signal.

7. Applications and Future Aspects

It can be used as high voltage generator (15-50kV). With a little modification, this simple project can be converted into a plasma generator. Very usefull in that areas where power generation is low Used as a security project also. Used as an electronic bomb.

8.Limitations.
Output signal of the ignition coil is unknown Relatively small amplitude with a high frequency
