Hi guys,
I need a little assistance here. I'm building myself a geiger counter cuz well, they're cool.
I'd like to use a 555 timer to generate my 500V+ as I have a few on hand. I just can't figure out what kind of transformer I need to step up the voltage.
I assume I need something with a very high turns ratio like 100:1 but I'm having trouble finding transformers to buy based on that metric.
Current demand is basically nonexistent. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Zach
