    Solenoids

    When building and powering a solenoid, is more voltage/capacitance better for a strong fast field generation?  Or is it something of a balance between the two?  Secondly, how much does saturation come into play were the plunger portion is concerned?

    Making Connections

    Looking at hooking up some high voltage capacitors in a series parallel configuration and was hoping some of the experienced folks here could share their recommendations for how best to connect them.  I've had traces posited, as well as solid-core wires and bus bars.

    High Voltage low amperage

    What is the best way to generate a significant voltage, say 10,000 volts; but at a very low amperage, say 0.02?  I've looked at a few different basic possibilities, but mostly they take up too much real estate.  So perhaps this is more of a question of what is the most space efficient way to do...

    Power Plugs

    Been trying to work on a prototype for a simpler project that needs a couple of power plugs.  Looking for plugs rated 9-12V @ 1A.  Round preferable.  One is to connect to either a backplane and could be flanged to screw on, or be surface mount to PCB; I prefer this to be female.  The other comes...

    Power Supply for capacitor bank

    I have a capacitor bank of 6x 400V 470uF capacitors in series parallel (2 wide, 3 deep) that I'd like to charge from a LIPO battery pack (most likely 12-14 volts).  Can someone help me with the basics of designing a power supply?
