So I'm using the design from re(updated) Simple flyback driver Even so it isn't oscillating at all. The current just flows through the flyback coil, to the base, and then power drains along the primary. There is no high voltage and their is no electric humming noise. I've tested the 3055 and it is working. The only thing I can think of is that the one resistor that is supposed to be 5w is only a 1w in my circuit but they aren't getting hot and they still show proper resistance values on the multimeter. I know I had an ignition coil thread a few days before but when using an actual 3055 the sparks where minimal and I assumed the coil to be dead (it was at least 40 years old).
