How to build a high amperage DC power supply.

Video on how to build an AC to DC converter that outputs variable voltage (~12-16 DC volts), up to ~ 130 amps!

Buy the dc jack here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131162473695. We perform a dc jack repair on a Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop for par…

    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.

    i don’t think it work on hard load do you have some more test?

  3. Andrew Van Donselaar says:

    Does anyone know the model name of this power supply unit?

  4. Steven King says:

    Great idea and job. I forgot I watched this a month ago, must have been
    late. I likey!

    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

    130 amps at 16 volts? Damn, that’s one tiny welder! :P

  7. Kevin Andres says:

    Sheesh, put a pair of wheels on that thing and those fans will get it
    scootin’ along!

  8. Jordan O'C says:

    That’s so damn cool!

  9. TunedCavityLasers says:

    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. 

  11. IHateMadeUpNames says:

    @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.

  12. tiorobot says:

    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.

    you might help me with something has a power supply from a server which is
    IBM but can not get it up and running, you can help with it …. Model:
    7000686-0000

  14. Steven King says:

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

  15. Phillip Lynch says:

    i have done this with a poweredge 6800 JD200 model….works perfect for
    audio use….powers 1100rms @1ohm 14.6v stable as can be……will help
    people build if interested an can build for you an sell threw ebay!

  16. karzygijose says:

    So i need a 120amp or 130amp 13.8V power supply for 120V for a big
    amplifier :3

  17. Ro-Danna Farrell says:

    Hello there can anyone help me make build a 15V power suppply ;(
    Having a little trouble.

  18. netzke10 says:

    How much did it cost to build ?

  19. Armed Society says:

    sketchy

  20. John Neyrey says:

    Where did you get the paper with the pin outs?

  21. Tim Gomes says:

    What modle is it??,
    

  22. jonathan fasking says:
  23. elcid524 says:

    Doesn’t even say how to make it/instructions/schematics.

  24. johnyboys supra says:

    No I haven’t checked for 12 Volts. Can I so that with a volt meter while
    the engine is cranking?

  25. nljins says:

    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.
