After driving the small TO-247 IGBTs so hard that they eventually failed, I have now upgraded the half bridge with a couple of IXGN60N60C2D1 isotop IGBT bricks. It is tuned much better now and is giving a fair amount of spark length. I will need to spend more time tuning it for maximum output, but

In this article I show how I repaired a broken LCD TV. A few bad capacitors in the power supply is enough to ruin a large expensive TV. Right to repair is not just that you can do it yourself. Right to repair is also about having the information on how to repair it, available

Salvaging electronics do not only work for supplying your hobby with cheap parts, also cheap laugh 🙂 Here is a on/off switch from a 1980’s transistor radio, having a capacitor across the AC terminals is not strange and will protect the circuit in some degree from surges on the power distribution network. But naming such
This morning I made the simple experiment first demonstrated by Michael Faraday in 1821, the homopolar motor. It is a simple electric motor that anyone should be able to make from common household items. Enjoy 🙂 http://kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/everyday-science/homopolar-motor/
I have uploaded the bridge section schematics for the Kaizer DRSSTC I Tesla coil. The driver section will have to wait for me to find time to draw them on the PC, for now they exist only on paper. Progress on the Isophon BS35 speakers is going smooth without problems. A TL494 inverter and current

Time is flying when life smiles at you and the sun shines on your path! Spare time to work on my projects have been shallow. Most of it went into building a pair of Isophon hi-fi speakers with restored units from the 1970’s. I will return with more projects aimed at beginners in the high
