Hi Mark, Thanks for the 2 circuits, this is something I have been wanting to do for a long time, and I have the perfect opertunity.
Last monday I had to buy another battery for the car $180, a bit steep, so there went my electronics parts money, lol.

@All
How cold does it get in Australia?  VERY COLD, it was BELOW 0 degreeze for the last 2 nights and more to come, brrrr.
Proof below, left a bowl of water outside overnight, got up at 7am, it was solid ice, by 9am it still was ice, now I gotta thaw out, the Reverse cycle airconditioner is on Heat Pump cycle and it can hardly keep up.

@Altrez
Get something like this to use on that power supply, see pic, its a Very Heavy Duty Bridge.

@Jeanna,
Well done with the puzzle, you must be Mensus

Hi.
For a long time now I have been wondering what the letters (LOL) mean.
Pardon my ignorance, but what does those letters stand for?

Jesus

LOL means Lough Out Loud.
Another one is ROFL,    ie Roll On the Floor Laughing

Thank you Jim! Can you recommend a variac that works with 110 single phase? I think with a good variac and that Diode bridge I can make it!

I want to adjust the DC from 30volts to 300 volts at 10 amps!


@all week 3 is coming up and I am still charging battery's

Jeanna:

Great job!!  You finally did it!  As I was reading the past 5 pages I kept wanting to post to you to use a neo to start the light but....you found that out by the time I got here.  We have had 3 tornadoes touch down here and are under warnings for the next 4 hours so I might not be able to be on much but I wanted to congratulate you. Perserverence conquers all.

@ Jim:

Stay warm down there buddy.
