    How do I increase energy flowing into a Capacitor?

    Hi Poor Mystic, haha yes i scare myself sometimes too. Anyways, to answer your question, no the cap will not be charged for days or weeks as i have a tool which brings it down instantly called a metal screwdriver. I simply touch the capacitor on one terminal and BANG - bob's your uncle. Yes...

    How do I increase energy flowing into a Capacitor?

    The circuit is from a flash camera. I've checked the flow of electricity from the pos (+) and neg (-) terminals as well. It seems that the flow of electricity is only one way regardless as there is a diode. Also, where the flash capacitor used to be, the neg (-) terminal is showing as 330 V...

    How do I increase energy flowing into a Capacitor?

    Hi, I am trying to discharge energy to a 2200 uF -400V Capacitor. The transformer circuit i have is actually generating a total of 330 V output. However, when i connect the negative lead from the transformer circuit to the neg (-) of the Cap, it is only transferring small amounts at a time...

    How to get 80 mV?

    Actually don't worry about it. I'll just study some more. I'm pretty sure there's a simple way of just getting 80 mV out of a 1.5 v Batt or more. Anyways, thanks everyone for giving feedback. Moderators, i would like this thread to be closed now please. Cheers

    How to get 80 mV?

    Yes of course i read it. The 80 mV is what i am needing which is equivalent to 0.08 V. It will just be a wave for now since i am just studying how to get a specific voltage output. I also have looked into voltage dividers and will try that. Cheers

    How to get 80 mV?

    well i am trying to get 80 mV first to come out of a battery even if i have to place a capacitor into the circuit. I know this is possible since it is only 80 mV so how hard can it be? I'm planning to use either a 1.5V or 9V batt.

    How to get 80 mV?

    Its ok. I will play around with the mA, mV and V. I have decided to just use a simple circuit containing a 1.5V batt connected to a resistor and LED. I will also test it using a divider. I wanted to get 80 mV but figured learning how to lower down voltages from a higher input source would be...

    How to get 80 mV?

    Sorry Harald, i meant 80 mA not 0.08 mA. Thanks guys for the references and circuit. I'll go and take a look at it, cheers

    How to get 80 mV?

    Hi, I want to know how to get 80 mV. I have applied a 1.5 v batt and placed a 10 ohm, 100 ohm and 220 ohm resistors on their own (in circuit with the battery) but got only 1.4 V using a multimeter on all of them. I usually thought getting a higher resistance would mean a lower voltage would...

    How do i connect a 5 pin transformer?

    Its ok Harald, i found the answer. http://www.lucidscience.com/pro-camera%20flash%20taser-3.aspx Thanks anyway :)

    How do i connect a 5 pin transformer?

    I got the transformer from a flash camera which converts 1.5v to 330 v. So i'm guessing it is 3 inputs and 2 outputs but i'm still trying to figure it out. I have attached the original circuit the transformer was on (both front and back) so you can see what i mean.

    How do i connect a 5 pin transformer?

    Hi, I want to connect a 5 pin transformer to my circuit. It converts from 1.5 V to 330 V (or more) and has 5 pins - 2 pins input and 3 output. I would like to know where each of the pins connect to? I was thinking of just cancelling the middle pin but wanted to know what it was for since...

    What is does WV stand for in a capacitor?

    Ah cool. Thanks for the answer Neal :)

    What is does WV stand for in a capacitor?

    Hi, I had this flash camera which i opened up and found a 330 WV 80 uF electrolytic cap. Just wanted to know what does the 'WV' stand for and whether it is dangerous or not. Thanks

    Calculating frequency

    Its all good. I found out that i had made a mistake with the henries. I accidentally thought mH was micro when it was really milli. :) I guess it comes with learning. Thanks for the help davenn. Cheers

    Calculating frequency

    Darn it, i got 7.02481473e-8 as the answer. This is what i did: 1 / 2 * pi * sqrt (0.0002 * (10 * 10 to the power of -12)) = 7.02481473e-8 I don't get it.

    Calculating frequency

    Hey, I was trying out the formula to find out the frequency for this example but couldn't get the right answer as my calculations produced 1.1253954e+12 Hz. Its weird. Can anyone figure it out please? I converted my answer to khz and got 1 125 395 400 kilohertz instead.

    Calculating frequency

    Sorry guys, i made a mistake in explaining. Here's the right details: d = 5 mm n = 6 cm L2 = 6.5 so i did the calculation again and the frequency was 38.33 MHz. Can you guys check please if you got the same?

    Calculating frequency

    Sorry MHz is what it was supposed to be not mHz. Also the uF was supposed to be uH, sorry my mistake. had too many calculations :) With the coil's diameter, i wanted to ask is that to do with the coil itself (0.5mm, 1mm, 1.25mm) or the diameter of the coil ring that i make using a screwbit? i...
