Pocket High Voltage Generator Becomes Great Test Tool
[The LED Artist] often found a need for a relatively high voltage (100 to 200 Volt) but low current DC power supply, and it turns out that a small HV generator that uses a single AA cell only took about an hour to make. The device ended up being a pretty handy tool for testing things like LED filaments (which have a forward voltage of over 60 V), or even neon and nixie tubes.
The device’s low current means that nixie and neon elements won’t light up very brightly, but they will light up enough to verify function and operation. …read more
