2012-02-10 High Voltage Flyback Information

I ran this website in Portuguese through Google translate.  It looks like good info on Flybacks.  I haven’t checked it out enough to say whether or not the site’s information is reliable.

I saw one schematic where the turns ratio between the collector winding and the base winding is 2 to 1.  The supply voltage was shown as 6 to 24 VDC.   I would never run this at more than 12VDC, because the voltage on the base could exceed the 5 or 6 volts maximum.  If it has to be a voltage higher than 12V, then the ratio of the windings should be greater, 3 to 1 or 4 to 1.
