After seeing the price of an average 40w CO2 laser power supply i decided i could probably make my own for much less.
Took about a week of messing around with components, a day of putting it in a box and about a month of getting round to actually doing it
It runs from about 24VDC at 12 to 15A and gives out (hopefully) ~15kv at ~18ma.
Features no output regulation at all...
Heres a few pics:
Top down view:
Side view(shows HV out):
Front view (input):
Back view (HV ground):
Case open (Yes, that is the top of the transformer sticking out the side):
Pulling an arc from 12V input:
Just thought i'd share this with you guys, let me know what you think
