Need Acid

[Demonic69]

No voltage coming out of there sunshine!!!
Hopefully gonna pick up the acid and a few cool boxes this weekend
Marker stand has been put on hold, need some aluminium Halo-esque bolts...
Might be able to Anno them soon
Anyone got an idea what I can use to strip off old Anno? Something cheap and readily available, but not too destructive, don't wanna have to spend days polising the parts after

ok in that case ive got a mini atx psu that will kick out a very reliable 12 volts with load (the rail is probably about 30-40 amps so will be fine for your purposes as you will never draw that) its yours as long as i get photos of the inevitable explosion and an invite to the presentation of your Darwin award


lmk and its yours bud

May Take you up on that. I've got a 350W normal ATX PSU that may work too.
Any ideas how I can variably restrict the Current if need be? Like a Dimmer switch or something?

Variable resistor? That should take care of current..if you need voltage too, then you need a potentiometer

I can smell burning electronics already.

 

[Demonic69]

Variable resistor ey....... If I don't set fore to the out-house or dissolve a body part I think I may do alright

Remember the amount of power you're going to be controlling, a volume control off a stereo just won't cut it.

Theres a good lot of information on anodising there.

Looking for a reliable power supply?
I'm guessing you could use a battery charging pack, I picked up a decent one for charging my R/C car and plane batteries from my local model shop, its adjustable anywhere from 0.5 to 6 Amps.
Paid £30 for it.

Edit: You can work out how many amps you are going to need, found this on pbnation:
amps required are .1-.15 per sq. inch. That means a battery charging pack like mine can do up to 60 square inches of metal.. I think that should do for pretty much any paintball part.
