power supply options



Original poster: "Scott Bogard" <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Greetings all,
Ok, I am on a students budget, so for now, a pig is not an option (not even one of Dr. Resonance's $125 pigs, I am chronically poor, until I graduate, and get an engineering job). Right now I am using MOTs, which are free (which is very good), and they put out lots of power (which is also good) but they do indeed occasionally burn out, and my supply is dwindling faster than it is growing. Can anybody give me another (very cheap) option for a nice and beefy HV power supply, in case I run out of MOTs before I graduate in 2 yrs. I suppose there probably is no easy answer, but maybe somebody out there can tell me something to look for (or where to look).
Thank ye kindly.
Scott Bogard.
P.S. I have considered building a transformer, but I think it is a little beyond my skill level (and patience, winding stuff by hand for hours on end drives me absolutely crazy). Plus I don't believe there is any good scrap yards near me, so I would have to order wire and cores and stuff, which I think would end up not saving me any money in the long run. Thanks again.
