Finished Projects     Current Projects     Project Ideas

Eventually, when I have time, I will give each project a page, and upload my schematics.

 


100-700v Capacitor Charger


I need a charger for my 700v capacitor bank.  I do not have near the money to pay for a high voltage DC power supply, and my previous attempt (the cascade multiplier) did not supply enough current.  This design uses multiple transformers in series with a microcontroller interface.

 

 

Electronic Ignition

This idea of mine combines the Dahlquist Igniter with a system that allows for multiple ignitions at once – controlled individually.  It uses a microcontroller to read the desired launch, and fires to an igniter matrix.  Professional versions can cost hundreds of dollars.  Hopefully mine will trickle in under $75.

 

 

LCD Projector Assembly

If you do a simple search for a DIY Projector, you will find many sites with “how to’s” for making a projector.  I hopefully will not only make a projector, but interface a computer for DVD playback, Network video file sharing, and video transcoding for multiple different types of inputs.
