I am indulging in my (fairly new) interest for electronics by building a coilgun, but I'm starting off small. I've rigged three 12 v power supplies together, but is there a way to boost that to 200 v? I don't mind ordering/getting parts from electronics stores, but receiving free samples from websites is a better option for me. As mentioned before, I am new to electronics so please pardon my absence of knowledge on the subject. Thanks in advance! |

High voltages can be derived direct from the ac mains. You can see a way to do this at: https://diyhacking.com/make-coil-gun-without-camera/ I would urge caution in the use of mains voltages and in the use of a potentially lethal weapon. |
