Sometimes I need small high voltage power supply for my projects. And I don`t want to make special transformers. And I don`t want to use special chips for it. In internet I found very simple circuit diagram for classical step-up converter. It is base on very common 555 timer. The coil used in this schematics is bought in the shop. Some comments ab

out this circuit diagram: I needed about 200V DC. During tuning I saw voltages going from Vin up to the voltage dangerous for diode, capacitor and mosfet. You only need to turn trimmer. Theoretical values are printed in this circuit diagram, but during constructed I didn`t managed to collect exact values and used components from my spare part box. So here is comments about replacement of components: First of all, T1 is MPSA42. Why author used high voltage transistor Maybe he had lots of them. I don`t. The voltage here is only going to such level what 555 timer can handle- up to 18V. So I used more common transistor from computer power supply. It is C945 (50V, 0. 1A, npn) Trimmer R40 is 10K, R38- 470K. Diode D1 from old AT PSU, fast, high voltage diode FR154. L1 is from local hobby shop. They didn`t find any 100G H @ 1A, so I put 150G H.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
