Discovery Channel Top Engineer

  Discovery Channel is probably my favorite TV channel, they have an abundance of shows that intrigue curious minds. It looks like there will be another great show to add to their line up.

250 kV Home Made High Voltage DC Power Supply

  If you have a project that needs a bit more than 3.3, 5 or 12 volts have a look at this Home Made 250 kV High Voltage DC Power Supply!
