Thanks for the link :) Huh, it does seem a lot easier than i imagined. If i havent got a transformer that does what i need i'll probably have a go at winding one myself then.

@plexus Ok sure i'll post pics and things when it comes... I wanted to buy a laser with power supply like you but just couldnt afford the power supply, so i thought i'd have a go at making my own.

James, I do understand that the true meaning of flyback means the driving method of a transformer rather than the actaul style of transformer. I usually refer to high voltage, high frequency, ferrite-core based step-up transformers as 'flyback' transformers out oh habbit as that is the method...

Ok great, thanks. I'll go mess around with zvs drivers for a bit then order a tube if i think i can power it... For measuring current would sticking a 1ohm resistor in series with the ground line then messuring the voltage accross it do? eg 1mv = 1ma? Just to be safe, polycarbonate eye...

@Cyparagon I always thought they used flybacks from the look of the transformers in them, i was wondering if they use some sort of special driving method? E.g. Does the tube need some kind of special waveform or is high frequency pulsed DC good enough? Yeah the making holes in things is a bit...

Hi all, Im new here, ive been lurking around for quite a while (about a year or so i think) but never really felt the need to make a thread up until now. I've handled a few fairly high power DPSS greens, made countless numbers of dvd writer sourced 200-300mw red lasers and recently made my...
