Building a X-ray powersupply

Warning: do not attempt the actions seen in this video!
In today's video, I'll be making a high-voltage DC X-ray power supply which ill be using for some future X-ray projects!
Enjoy! :)

"well, to make sure we don't fuck up anything..."

In printers, the high voltage (from a corotron, for example) is divided by a very high-resistance divider to a value that is suitable for the PWM controller. Then a buffer op-amp with unity gain is installed to match the impedance and then op-amp output goes to the feedback input of the PWM controller. And the PWM controller, in turn, controls the power supply of the high-voltage converter, or directly (through a driver actually) its switching elements (MOSFETs or IGBTs). This allows you to set the output voltage with sufficient accuracy.

I'm not really an electronics or physics guy, but you made this really interesting.

[@jordanhill4265]

When you rewound your primary it’s likely that you adjusted the number of turns around the core which especially on a flyback will have a big difference on output voltage.

[@AlbertoMelappioni]

It would be useful to add a resistor for high voltage (and low inductance) to the output of the multiplier. By limiting the current a little, it extends the life of the diodes and in case of electrical discharges it prevents dangerous inductive spikes in the circuit.

The effect on the oil and sand is amazing

[@JoTheVeteran]

Really cool stuff. I'm at this point trying to figure out how to power an old motor, and make an switch for it, and you're making this instead? Crazy!

[@bobbybruh9723]

Try using a flyback from a gas grill igniter, the battery operated ones, not the piezo ones. Drive with zvs and feed output into multiplier, scary loud output from multiplier

Nice psu

[@algorithminc.8850]

Nice. Really fun stuff. Cheers

So refreshing not to see a video on UA-cam where I feel dumber than when I went into it.

[@trtlphnx]

Thanx For The Info!!!

[@TestEric]

Amazing job, I may build something similar.

[@maxhouseman3129]

Despite I am designing electronics for living, I am still afraid of building high kV sources at home.

[@chuckcrunch1]

i'm getting deja vu again

[@Th3Fr0gL1ck3r]

That coronal discharge to the pliers!!

[@BubblesAdventures17]

you should make a video on the synthesis of pure N20

[@jtcustomknives]

Your one step away from building electrobooms magic wand lol

[@daviddavidson2357]

No current limiting?
