Over the past few years I have revisited my coilgun and capacitor charging projects several times. My first attempt at designing a LT3751 flyback capacitor charger was never functional, possibly due to poor soldering and a bad PCB layout. My second attempt lacked technical ambition and simply involved slapping an ebay LM2596 adjustable voltage step-down regulator […]

This is a 12ooW charger which uses a coilcraft GA3460-BL flyback transformer in conjunction with the LT3751 microchip. In theory it is capable of charging a 12000uF 400V capacitor in only a few seconds. The LT3751 microchip controls the charging of the capacitor and offers charging cutoff and safety features. The charger is powered by […]
This is a miniature power supply which accepts voltage inputs between 12 and 18 volts. It uses a 12 position dip switch to program the output of the power supply. The power supply can output 12v, 5v, and 3.3v. At 5v the power supply is switchable between 5mA, 10mA, 20mA, 30mA and it can also […]
