i'm on a roll... the kgsshv

So for whatever reason a number of different projects are coming together at the same time. This is the latest. http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgsshv.jpg Its the high voltage version of the kgss with higher voltage pnp transistors, a cascode current source for the 3rd stage, the lsk389 part (or singles) and much higher voltage output transistors. The result is something that runs on +/-500 volt power supplies, and is as close as i know how to do to the T2. (except fully solid s
old power supply  (per rail)  (just the unregulated primary)   680uf x 2 caps in series, about 600v.  total energy storage  61 joules   new power supply 500v 1 x 680uf cap  total energy storage 85 joules   so you can certainly get away with 470uf which is 58 joules and that one is only 60mm high   but if you are insane, you can go with the 1000uf cap which is still 40mm diameter but 105mm high  and get 125 joules   I'm clearly a fan of overkill, but 125 joules is in the range of a he
