How would I go about generating a frequency with a transistor?(Using a computer psu 12v rail) Can i Just use a small capacitance capacitor and when it charges up all the way have it discharge the transistor, using the small capacitor would mean it discharges fast enough to make a frequency?

 

Try googling for oscillators.

I thought about using one but I want to use 12v 3-4a for inductive coupling, and I couldn't find anything for higher currents.

 

Why don't you spell out the objective. It will go a lot faster.

 

What frequency are you aiming for?
A 555 timer circuit is easy to build.

I want to be able to oscillate a coil with 12v about 3-4 amps (preferably) at a frequency (14 mhz if I did the math right), In order to wirelessly transmit electricity. I have Just about everything figured out except how to generate a frequency for the transmitting coil.

14mhz, would a 555 work for higher amperages?

 

At 14mHz, yes, but not at 14MHz.

Yeah sorry should've been more clear, 14 MHz .

 

just wao , you guys want him to use the timer as a control circuit (14MHz) and a power circuit for the 4A ??? using something like Opto-isolator/triacs ???? , idk if that will work , assuming it will work , you need that type of wave? (square wave)

 

At that freq and current, it might be easier to drive the coil with a 14 MHz square wave and resonate the coil with a cap. Worked in color TVs since the 50's, although 4 A is a bit of a modification.

That's like saying you have everything for building a radio transmitter at 14MHz, except for the radio part. An RF amplifier at 14MHz and 4A is not a trivial part of your project.

Thats how I'm resonating the receiving coil, I'll give it a shot thanks. Just thought it would be easier to build a circuit to transmit.

 

How far are you expecting to "transmit the electricity"? And why the need for 14 MHz?

Electric toothbrush chargers use two coils placed near each other and run at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Transmits electricity just fine.
