Some photos of an incomplete capacitor bank project. When completed, it will output 330V per "strip" of 10 80uF capacitors (wired in parallel). 5 of such strips will be wired in series to provide 1650 volts of reasonably high amperage electricity in one pulse. For safety reasons, the "charger" will max out at 1500 volts, to avoid overcharging (and possible damage to capacitors).
The idea of this is to have a high voltage pulse power supply ready for all kinds of projects :) (total cost so far? 1 euro for the stripboard, the capacitors were free - stripped from recycled disposable cameras).

| So far 30 have been soldered on |

| My soldering was not at its best that day. |

| This project was abandoned for a while. Still works though. |
