Tesla Coils, High Voltage and Electronics
Schematics, instructions and pictures on how to build high voltage power supplies or projects like flyback transformer drivers.
Teardown of SCR inverter controller, driver and bridge for a General Electric mobile x-ray unit, the AMX-II. Features a 120V battery operated apparatus from 1979 which has a 60 Hz mains inverter and 500 Hz high voltage inverter. All analog …
This is the third experiment with the bank of 35 electrolytic capacitors connected in series. Results are better than the theoretical estimate, which was 6000 A limited by ESR. So getting just over 7000 A is good, but the result …
Second charge experiment with the bank of 35 electrolytic capacitors connected in series. The bank did however not get charged to more than 50% of its maximum holding charge, due to too weak power supply. More results will follow when …
For now all details during development and testing can be found on the forum thread: https://highvoltageforum.net/index.php?topic=25.0 35 capacitors in series, each 450VDC/1000uF, for a 48 uF bank with a voltage rating of 14000VDC, making it able to store roughly 5kJ.
Hello everyone! The comment sections on my website have grown long with questions, advices and solutions. So I have expanded the site with a brand new forum, on a dedicated domain. We are a group of seasoned high voltage and …
I have successfully detected something, this might sound a little uncertain. But there definitely is detected some kind of radiation or particle energy that causes various levels of light generated in the BC408 scintillation plastic. It is being detected by …
I have finished the first steps that included mapping the circuit boards, getting the unit to run and test it with a few simple test and finding out which input and outputs the module have. Schematics and further experiments with …
It took some years and someone recently bumping up my old thread about this project for me to write up a article. I had to dig around a bit to find the pictures, make a video and get it on …
This afternoon I had my current monitor and oscilloscope hooked up to the capacitor bank to do current measurements of the short circuit energy. The results and pictures are amazing and I am thrilled by the magnitude of the pulse …
Today I put the last parts together on small project with a large impact. A 4000 joule capacitor bank able of delivering destructive short circuit currents in the thousands. The first test was only done at 1kj to ensure that …
