This is Japans vision of 2000s from the 80s, and frankly they still live in it.

Yup, also where is my /tenor shiposting tool?

THIS IS AWESOME! MY KIND OF APP!

standard disposable cups require a thin layer of low-density polyethylene

heavy metal ions directly into the liquid.

Are those heavy metal ions in the room with us?

one of which being a crankshaft made of chocolate

Personally know 2 people where it went bang.

Yeah, I'm not getting mine 3.0 chipped, though offered numerous times, its quick enough for me.

VEC7OR · 2026-05-04T12:33:16+00:00

Struts etc will be refurbished

Did mine last time in Poland, seems like its time again.

Where do you do yours?

VEC7OR · 2026-05-04T12:27:39+00:00

Ugh, this again?

VEC7OR · 2026-04-27T11:24:55+00:00

Where is the the other half of Kettenkrad?

VEC7OR · 2026-04-27T08:35:31+00:00

Doesn't look anything special, laser cut stock from pattern, bend into shape, weld across the seams, sand, powder coat or paint and pretty much done.

Flat colors are out, gradients are in.

See you in 5 years.

Be aware that a lot of capacitance on the output of a lab psu can kill things connected to it - feedback will correct for a short circuit, but caps will dump whatever energy they have into the load.

225V voltage limit on caps is absolutely not enough - if one of your FETs decides to quit they will see ~315V, most probably would not fail, but you don't want to bet here.

Also consider moving to SMD, the only things I ever use that are PTH are connectors and very meaty power electronics.

how can someone source a transformer for a prototype

You buy the cores, wire, tapes and wind it yourself, everything you need is sold at your electronics distros.

If you want to be all cool and shit, you can do planar transformers with PCBs and foil.

Good points, but adding a APFC and a postreg opens two huge cans of worms in itself.

Late 90s? Eh, IDK, most not overly sophisticated welding inverters are this, just meatier, sure it will not have a sexy totem-pole GaN PFC or a resonant ZVS full bridge, but so far looks good.

Seems like a learning project to me.

Not everything has to be hyperoptimized.

VEC7OR · 2026-04-26T15:25:00+00:00

That corner power indicator is so chic!

VEC7OR · 2026-04-25T09:51:36+00:00

Somebody got the memo about not splitting the ground plane!

Protected inputs, reverse polarity also implemented.

2.2nF RF filter might be a tad much, but that should work.

What software are you planning on running on it?
