It shows 3 easy circuits to build. I pick this one..
Input: 12-24VDC Output:500V DC
Coil Data:
- 30 turns, 3-4 layers, 22awg "0.65mm" wire
- Ferrite core “Dimensions 0.5 Inch Diameter and 1 inch long” or “Dimensions 1.27 cm Diameter and 2.54 cm long”
- Switch IGBT: 600V @ 40 A rms
- Diode (D3): 1000V @ 12 A rms, 120 A surge FRED (Fast recovery)
- Time of charge: 24V / 288 Ws= 2.5 Sec or 12V / 288 Ws= 10 Sec

It’s working with one coil “It’s so easy to build” and the famous 555 timer as oscillator and One IGBT. I complete the circuit with Trigger transformer and Xenon lamp and speaker.
Would you please check it if it’s right or wrong because I will use it as portable flash.
