Step 5 has the wiring diagram? Basically it just connects the booster output to the power supply output.

I have couple of simpler and powerful versions coming soon. And some even more powerful but more dangerous ones.

Royal circuit?

Neat project ;) Tnx for the ideas!

Tnx!

Something like this? I was looking somekind of meter for my higher voltage dc power supply and found this.

Tnx Bob!

I touched the electronics part in "Step 9". There are a lot of possibilities. For me the micro-controller part is fastest and with most realistic result. You can add standard LED's or nowadays you can have fading LED's as well, they are actually quite nice. For powering them you need to do some calculations. Maybe I’ll add some simpler schematics and experiments later. All depends what size fireplace and how many LED's you want to have.In my case this fireplace was part of a window decoration that had almost 1000 LED's in it and was all powered with powerful 5v power supply.

Gen2, will add microcontroller and add some game-like features?

Tnx!

Thanx!

Google the specific model? Contact the seller? I have little experience with this kind of multimeters :(

1. These where spare buck converters i had at the moment. When i took the picture i was still unsure witch one i was going to use.2. LED's near the toggle switches are led's connected from buck converter, they are built in indicators for charging batteries. 2...3. At first i had planned to have built in dummy load for setting the current limit, but ditched the idea in the end, so now it has 1 spare switch and LED.4. In my diagram i have 2 sets of wires connected to multimeter, I attached diagram below.

They do annoy me :D i didn’t know the temporary powersupply will look so good. But it's too late and i' am already building a new one. There's a lot of things that annoy me :D I’d like to have larger radius on the corners, outer and inner radius of the frame do not match, glulam wood has too sharp transitions etc... I really didn’t had any other wood in the correct dimensions at the time, at first it was just a box, so i routed down the edges, socket for the panels etc, and that ho it came to be.

Tnx :)

This is the panel layout i settled on, i had something like 7 different ones,

Tnx :D

It was meant for resistive dummy load to check on the input power :) I'am not sure if i need it in this PS.

Tnx!

In my case it's for small experiments only. There's always an option to add extra fan or vent holes. Nice place would be to add holes to back panel. I’m in the process of building new 2 channel larger PS, it will have temp sensors and automatic cooling built into it.

Really cool :)

Of course :D let me know, when it's ready!

I made it already 6 months ago, just made an instructable for it :)

It's simple power supply, but everybody asks about it :) At my home as well.

Tnx!

jlewczyk1 had a good answer. You should hear the squeal. Warning on aliexpress is about 12v example. I've built 2 of these ladders, both worked on the first try, and one of them is workin still. I've cranked it to 5v and still works. From your photos it seems, that transformer wires are connected correctly. Maybe recheck all connections?

Try playing with the gap and the shape of the electrodes. I've had sam problem before, if the gap is too narrow it doe's not rise.

Cool formicarium :) I've been thinking about concrete formica as well. I have lot's of colonies. In couple of day's i'll try to build large outworld out of glass for my Pheidole pallidula.Is concrete safe for ants?

Coolest tensegrity project i've seen. I'am planning something similar as well.

It's 1mm. I’m not sure where i got it, i collect all kinds of wires :D Even my neighbor gave me boxful of wires/chargers etc couple of weeks ago.

Really cool idea :) Now I have tens of new ideas based on crystals(y)

Tnx for the advice :) I’ve cut couple of bolts with my new angle grinder, getting used to it. Old one given for me, it didn’t had guard or handle with it, and it was quite powerful and intimidating, now i bought new one, seems much safer for beginner.

I ordered one with 20kv and onw with 60kv, just to test out :)

Tnx. Please remember, it's mini :) not like in sci-fi movies, but much safer and costst next to nothing.

I't a regular LED, after soldering wires i added heat-shrink tubing to it's legs, you can see it in video.

It tasted really good! I think i did put too much stuff inside so the edges did not stick so well. My 3 daughters liked it very much, so the technique is good.

I’m gonna make it, looks delicious :)

Fan is ok, much better than nothing. Main problem is the acid and stuff that comes out of flux. Tin an lead do not vaporize at such a low temperatures. Fan removes concentrated fumes and mixes them into air where the concentration is not hazardous.

Loud? I only cut aluminum with table saw, and only small stuff :) But now i bought huge 1mm thick plate, but I'm not sure how I’ll be cutting it. So i have to figure it out, make some test cuts and so on. I was given large vintage shears recently, and given advice to secure one side with bench vise, and use steel pipe on the other end to cut thicker pieces. I haven’t tried them yet.

Current is really low and the fingers are far enough, but you are right about glass/plastic the enclosure, it was planned as well. I even bought some random cheap decoration for glass part. At the last minute i decided not to use it on this one to keep it simple and with minimal parts. I have built some ladders before and have 2 more planned and waiting for parts.

I've got this idea from bigclivedotcom youtube video, he named it Gabriel electrode. Basically it allows the gap to be wider, first arc jumps to semi desireable resistor and already starts the ionization process, then it jumps to second wire.

Tnx. I have components already for 2 more ladders :) Each one largrer than previous one.

Tnx for the hard work with this instructable ;) I’m actually new to building/diy and really afraid of angle grinders, though i have 2 of them, because of that I’ve been avoiding metal work. But i do often use table saw for smaller aluminum plates and profiles.

Yeah, it's in the same style as my power supply and helping hands set.

Tnx.

I like the concept, good idea for display/artistic PCB.

Wow:) Really cool!!!

Cutout from random a4 binding covers. In reality i liked it better without the cover, maybe at some point I'll remove it.

Tnx! I've had many ideas after complete'ing this one :) As i glued in the magnet inside and that makes replace'ing or fixing the wire later difficult. Later i thought that single hole with m3/m4 thread inside would be better, then you can attach stuff to it with bolts. There are many solutions, these where the bit's i had at the moment and ideas with them.

I'am little bit hesitant :) becauseEnglish is not my first language, though i speak it freely, other 4 languages i speak. Currently i'am experimenting and learning recording and video editing on simple projects, later on there will be more interesting and unique ones.

Power supply is also homemade, but i have no instructions of it. it's actually temporary and i have new 2 channel larger vintage looking supply in progress.

Tnx, keep me posted :)
