Fantastic! This solves the world's energy problems! "it takes 300 mW and turns it into 1000 volts at 300 watts"

That's perpetual motion if I ever saw it, multiplying power by a factor of 1000.

It's the magic (and very expensive) AD534 IC. And I have 30 of them! = I'll=20 become rich and famous!

(actually I didn't notice that)

Now there is the solution to the world energy problems :-)

y_Circuit/High_volta...

Looks like Pload=3D0.001 x Vload x 10 x Iout=3DW(attage setpoint=3Dmaximum of 10) or Pload=3D100 x Wsetpoint, adjustable from 0 to 1000W, not Volts. So it's an adjustable constant wattage regulator 0-1000W at up to 300V. The zeners on the protection trip look they operate at the AD534 maximum input voltage. Looks they settled on that unusual bootstrapped saturated core self- oscillator to use the off-the-shelf Triad.

The TY 93 is an obsolete transistor inverter xfmr

What, you've never heard of a "multiplying DAC" before?

You can use an ordinary 50 watt toroid rated 120V to 6V at 50/60 Hz, and = run=20 it backwards at 600 Hz to get 1200V out with a 60 VAC input, at 500 = watts.=20 Most iron core transformers, especially toroids, can work up to at least =

Now that was a cool project...

"Care should be taken with this circuit because it takes 300 mW and turns it into 1000 volts at 300 watts"

Actually, according to Always Wrong Missing Prong, aka Hellequin, = prefixes=20 are always capitalized, so that should read 300 MW. A bit inefficient, = but=20 does not violate the laws of physics.

Who would want a variable regulated power output supply like this other than maybe a component tester?

I once built something like this to drive a halogen arc lamp, which = needed=20 constant wattage, but it never quite worked correctly, and the high = voltage=20 got to the AD534 multiplier IC and fried it..

aka a Larkin converter ;-) ...Jim Thompson

In his case 300 MW means 300 'Moron Whats'

I've never heard of a multiplying DAC that amplifies power. I've never heard of any electrical device that multiplies power. I'm more familiar with the type that has an efficiency value less than 1. That's what makes this device so wonderful!

This is called a "power amplifier". Of course, it does not multiply the power of its own power supply. :)

OK, use one to multiply voltage and another to multiply current. ...but I suppose the results would be in Craftsman watts. ;-)
