Magnetron Plasma Generator Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Master 13.56MHz Plasma with Arduino – Complete Generator Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Fire up a sustained plasma corona at 13.56MHz, then monitor and stabilize the discharge in real-time using an Arduino-based feedback loop. This advanced electronics kit lets you generate a stable atmospheric plasma plume using a resonant ZVS driver and microcontroller feedback. You'll build the inverter, sense the plasma brightness with a photodiode, and program Arduino to automatically tune the oscillation frequency for consistent output.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a fully functional high-voltage power supply and produce a visible plasma corona at electrode tips. The integrated OLED displays real-time frequency and photodiode readings, showing you exactly how the closed-loop control maintains a steady discharge. The custom HV enclosure ensures safe operation while observing the plasma dynamics.
What You'll Learn
- Design and tune a ZVS resonant oscillator circuit for RF plasma generation
- Condition photodiode signals using LM358 op-amp for Arduino analog input
- Program Arduino to read plasma intensity and adjust PWM frequency for stable corona
- Display real-time diagnostics on a 0.96-inch OLED and interpret feedback loop performance

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is tailored for engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE) pursuing high-voltage, RF, or power electronics projects. It's a strong entry for Smart India Hackathon hardware tracks and advanced ATL Tinkering Lab senior cohorts. Makers with prior experience in Arduino and basic circuit assembly will find enough depth to explore plasma physics and control theory.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Simply scan the QR code on the box to launch the AI build companion trained on this project. It provides step-by-step debugging. You can also reach our support team via WhatsApp for quick help.
Is this kit safe for beginners?
This is an advanced kit dealing with high voltages and RF. We strongly recommend prior experience with basic electronics and safety precautions. The enclosure and build guide emphasize safe handling.
What can I do with a plasma generator?
You can experiment with atmospheric plasma for surface treatment, ozone generation, visual art displays, or as a foundation for RF power supply projects.
Do I need an RF license to operate this?
The kit operates at 13.56MHz which is an ISM band; no license required in India for this low-power experimental setup. Always follow local regulations.
ZVS oscillator drives custom coil at 13.56MHz. Arduino monitors plasma via photodiode and adjusts frequency.
