| − | [[Image:flybackdriver.gif|frame|right|basic flyback driver circuit]]A '''flyback circuit''' uses the flyback transformer from a TV or computer monitor to generate high voltage for ignition. It's one of the more complex ignitions to build, but the hot, continuous arc makes it very reliable.

| − | The image on the right shows perhaps the most basic flyback driver that can be built. There are a few improvements that can be made though:
| |
| − | *Remove the 27Ω resistor, it gets very hot and also seems to limit the output voltage.
| |
| − | *Use a better transistor, the 2N3055 is not well suited for this.

| − | The ''can'' be powered by a 9V battery, but it will be weak and won't last long. It's better to use a RC battery pack or other rechargeable batteries. 12V is a good input voltage.
