My son wants to do this:
http://ift.tt/2nMO3hM
for a physics project. (Senior in high school)
For those who don't want to click on the link, it's a homemade rail gun, powered by a 9v battery, and a capacitor bank, and some sort of transformer.
I might sacrifice a little bit of power in the name of safety, but, probably, this won't kill anyone, I don't think. Maybe I'll do a lower level of voltage and smaller capacitors.
There's a part in it, though, that I don't know what it actually is or where to get one. It refers to a small, 9v powered 400 v transformer.
What is that thing and where do I get one? Something that takes 9 volts in, and puts 400 volts out? (I might prefer a smaller voltage output. I'm ok with lower projectile velocities and a little bit less plasma generation.) Googling I found only irrelevant things, or possibly a DC-DC converter, but not exactly what I want, and very expensive. (>$200)
Any suggestions?
