Really enjoyed watching this video. Being a HAM radio operator, I have a 6
pill linear amp without a power supply. I am building this for the
amp. Where did you purchase the volt/current meter and the shunt, too.
Thanks for a very informative video. Excellent job.

Nobody can read your paper info.
On/off switch and pots can’t see anything. You show paper with blue and
purple marker. Nice coloring, But THAT Is the extent of its usefulness. ..
Needed to do a video with closeups as you point out the specifics.
Not very helpful at alll.
Sorry

Any way to modify for variable current control? Got a laser
that needs a buttload of current *> : )*

Can you provide a link for the write up you used on the forum.

@Steven King: 130Amps at 12VDC is 1560 Watts, which is barely more than 2
horsepower—and that’s assuming perfect conversion of electrical energy to
mechanical energy, which, of course, doesn’t happen.

Can anyone tell me if you can use a “computer power supply” to run a dc
motor? I apologize if that isn’t what they are called.

What the hell needs 12vdc and 130 amps? A Prius? An electric scooter? A
battery charger for a golf cart?

You guys are good. Thanks a lot. I just made some cash removing and
replacing a power inverter. I really respect and appreciate this. P.S
thanks for the captioning and high speed video.
