This is an efficient flyback driver for modern cylindrical rectified television flybacks. Frequency range can be increased using multiposition switch for other values of C3 capasitor, for example 2 nF for 80KHz-200000KHz, but didn't found flybacks with so high resonant frequencies, in addition with higher values of c3 , eg 200nF, 2uF the frequency will drop making possible the use of ignition coils, and rectified power transformers @50Hz to charge high voltage electrolitic caps at 300-400V).

The 555 is wired as an astable and the capasito is
charged only through the 4,7Kohm trimmer (notice the diode) and
discharged only through the 2.2 Kohm trimmer, making the duty cycle full
adjustable. The square wave is then feed in a totem pole made up of a
2N3904 and a 2N3906, which are cheap, and easy to find. The totem pole
ensures the gate being charged and discharged very fast (approx 50nS).
The IRF840 is a cheap reliable and powerful power mosfet, it has current
capability of 8 A continuous and 32A pulse, 800V drain source voltage,
protecting internal zener diode. There is a snubbing network to ensure
that voltage spikes are kept low (unless the insulation of the
transformer start to leak) protecting both transistors and 555 IC. 100 ohm is a compromise between decay time and voltage spike.
Note:
The flyback driven in this way can supply a significant current, aldough the heart fibrillation starts at 30mA I recommend caution to avoid painful arc-burns. The arc is a hot plasma, never operate the circuit in presence of flammable substances. Charging high voltage capasitor is a serious life threat, so if you arent unexperienced just draw arcs and no more This device when rectified generates static voltage that can be a little annoying
