Hi all, Sorry about the late reply! I've been distracted by my school work and other personal projects. Thank you guys so much for all the help over the years I spent building this. It's taken much more than sleepless nights and hard days at work to get this project finally done. Obviously, this har...

Andrew Seltzman is doing a post doc in plasma physics and MIT (correct if im wrong). Does he have an opinion in this by any chance?

You can just go to Home Depot and try their nut and bolt tester. They have all types of thread testing sizes. Metric, imperial etc

Hello, This reply came a lot later than it should have but I finished the transformer a while ago now. I used a schematic for dual polarity power supplies to better understand what was going on. Dual polarity.png Since it consists of two independent transformers and has two rectifiers as well, the s...

I went out with the family yesterday far from city lights. I don't have a DSLR so I was limited to a crappy Samsung, but I manged to get the exposure time just right. Here are some low quality photos: feb7b8cc-3595-4ebe-8b93-8bb75e5c1b5f.JPG 9bd06ef6-5d97-4def-8f62-6af8b1715747.JPG This was using a ...
