My only issue is the repetitive music 🤮 Most of the big KZreadrs channels use the copyright free music from the Kevin MacLeod free library....

Love seeing younger generation folks taking initiative to do projects like this ! After 40-years of being a machinist , I watch their skills using crude tools & angle grinders & think to myself " my God, what could these kids build if they had access to a bonafide machine shop " ? Great vid !

That’s not necessarily true, I have a really thick high quality cord the auto rca on it is small but the video you can tell it’s a lot thicker wire and you can see the connector is beefer. I use it with my amateur radio, I’m sure there is quality ones that support more amperage from radio / video equipment stores

this video reminds me of college days when we used to build fascinating things from scrap.

using pencaps as spacers blew my fucking mind. i am not creative enough. ive been wanting to convert an old laptop to a linux desktop and those spacers have held me back. subbed

I made the mistake of purchasing the SMPS converter when I could have used a PC ATX supply unit. One could save $20 here. I spent a total of around $50 making this PSU.

@spongerobert

Жыл бұрын

@@MaxImagination Your way is better if you're doing everything from scratch. I would maybe do it in 2 parts. Regular ATX PSU to supply the 12v and 5V and then all the other doodads in a separate case but adding easy battery connectors is a really cool idea as it makes it somewhat portable. Or even better, power the whole thing with an old laptop power brick especially if you have a beefy 130w brick lying around.

It would be nicer if you posted the full circuit diagram with all the different parts shown, As it is one has to figure out things here and there and do a bit of guessing too. Is it a tall order?

Hi there. It works for me fine as it is, I use it every day for testing my circuits. If I were to improve it, I'd probably just add a fuse at the AC input and some better connectors for power (|Banana Jacks).

Batteries may be the most unstable, but laptop adapters do not have variable output power - is what I probably meant.

@jeffbaker8808

@@MaxImagination true, although variable laptop power supplies are available. (I have one.) There is a switch, so you get fixed voltages, for example 12, 15, 16 18, 19, 21 and 24 volts not variable, which I realize was the objective. Current limited to max amount; short circuit protection included.
