How To Make A High Voltage Power Supply

Step 2 Parts & Tools

The Parts Needed
Charging Boards
I used 8 Boards but order a few extra in case you mess up on one.
Charger Boards - Electronic Goldmine
Unfortunately Electronic Goldmine is sold out of the charger boards. I don't know if they will get them back.
However I have been working on a bigger and better power supply, it won't be done for a while though.

Capacitors these should be rated to 400 Volts minimum and a total of 2000 - 3000 uF.
Electronic Goldmine is currently out of the ones I used.
Capacitors - All Electronics
Capacitors - Ebay

Switches (2) 15 Amp minimum rating
Alligator Clips or Binding Posts for HV out (1 Pair)
Small wire for soldering to charging boards (22AWG Solid)
Heavy wire for power in & out (18 - 16AWG)

Tools Needed

• Soldering Iron and solder
• Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
• Wire Cutters
• Wire Strippers
• Nedle Nose Pliers
• X-Acto Knife
• DC Volt Meter (optional)

Can you post a schematic if you can so we can still build it without the board? Thanks.

Here is the schematic. The number of turns on the transformer is just an estimate.

I can put together a schematic, but I don't know how many turns the inverter transformer has.

Hi, do you have a new link to a charger board, as that one has expired, or any specifics to look out for? thanx :)

[rocketman221]

It looks like they are sold out. Hopefully they will get more.

oh i was under the impression that you add up the voltages of the capicitors, I did not know that you are only supposed to add up the capicidence. :P
