[Mike] wanted a better power supply for his argon laser, so he modded some switchmode power supplies. With a few tweaks, he had a few adjustable voltage outputs and a nice solid supply of electrons for his laser projects. If you need a lab quality adjustable power supply for your projects, this is a nice way to get it on the cheap. (He's in the UK, but the same ideas should apply to us models.


1. This is a similar laser to one I rebuilt years ago. I used a very basic analog p/s but it still works even after 15 years :)
