power supply presented in this site ( click here to see

A High Voltage Power Supply

for your Lab
You will find in this document a very useful High
Voltage Power supply ( Lab HV-PS ) diagram for your
personal laboratory experiments. This is a dual
outpout power supply :
- the first output is a Low Voltage output fully tunable
between 0 to 70 V DC,
- the second output is a High Voltage output fully
tunable between 0 to 30 KV DC

This Lab HV-PS is able to lift off a Lifter v2.0 without

problem at a voltage about 21 KV. This allows you to
conduct some interesting experiments about the Lifter
hovering by tuning the HV output level.

This Lab HV-PS uses common and cheap electronic components that you
can buy in any electronic hobby shop.

Note : It is recommend to have one or two BU508D transistors as spare

parts, because it is very sensitive to HV pulses.
To build the Lab HV-PS, you may use any common flyback transformer
rescued from an old color PC monitor ( see below ).

To build the Lab HV-PS, you may use any common flyback transformer
rescued from an old color PC monitor ( see below ).

The main problem, in most cases, is that you don't know the pinout
diagram of a such flyback transformer. So, I shall try to give you a simple
method to find the primary coil input pins and also the 0 V output pin of
the HV secundary coil.
1) How to find the 0 V pin connection of the secundary coil ?
With a common digital ohmeter it is impossible to find the secundary coil
pinout because its resistance is much too high. The main HV output is
simple to find : this is the big red cable with the suction cup, but you need
to find the 0 V pin of the secundary coil on the flyback transformer. So, I
give you a simple method to find this 0v pin :
a) You need a 24 V DC power supply and a digital voltmeter set in 20 V
range. Connect the + input of your voltmeter to the THT ouput plug ( in
the suction cup ) and the (-) to the 0V of your power supply. Then, with
the +24V output from your power supply, test each pin of your flyback
transformer. When you measure a voltage between 5 and 10 V you have
found the 0 V pin of your secundary coil. This is very simple... Look at the
diagram and the photo below :

The 0V of the secundary coil is wrote as number 8 in the LAB HV-PS

diagram

2) How to find the pins location of the primary coil ?

With a simple ohmeter this is very simple, you will find easily the primary
inputs because the coil resistance is about 1 ohm (see below).

You have now indentified the primary inputs, the next step is to find the
polarity of the primary.

3) How to find the polarity of the primary coil ?

The purpose is to find the polarity of your primary coil. You need a
simple 9 V battery. Connect a digital voltmeter set in 100 V range
between the main THT output and the 0 V pin of the secundary that you
have indentified in test #1. With the 9 V battery send a short pulse on the
primary input, measure the spike of the voltage, then reverse the polarity
of your 9 V battery. When you get the max voltage ( about a 30 V spike )
you have found the correct polarity of your primary coil. The (+) is the
pin number 2 and the (-) is the pin number 1 in the main diagram of the
Lab HV-PS.

Now, you are ready to use your flyback transformer for building your
own Lab HV-PS...

The Lifter1 works very well with a simple 30KV power

supply

It is also possible to use the THT power supply output

from an old PC Color monitor ( see the photo above )

On June 2001, Transdimensional Technologies has presented

the Lifter1 and Lifter2 devices. The Lifter1 device was built with three capacitors
joined so as to form a triangle assembly and the Lifter2 is three time heavier and
three time bigger than the Lifter1. These devices are able to lift their own weight
and they are a "modern version" of the Townsend Brown Electrokinetic
Apparatus. The Lifters are using the Biefeld-Brown Effect to generate the main
thrust to self levitate. I have already built some similar devices in April 1999, see
"The EHD Flying Saucer v1.0 ".
In the Townsend Brown Electrokinetic Apparatus described in the US

Patent N2949550 filed on Aug 16, 1960 and titled "Elektrokinetic

Apparatus" you will find the full description of the main principle used in
the Lifter devices :
<< It is therefore an object of my invention to provide an apparatus for
converting the energy of an electrical potential directly into a mechanical
force suitable for causing relative motion between a structure and the
surrounding medium. It is another object of this invention to provide a
novel apparatus for converting and electrical potential directly to usable
kinetic energy.
It is another object of this invention to provide a novel apparatus for
converting electrostatic energy directly into kinetic energy.
It is another object of this invention to provide a vehicle motivated by
electrostatic energy without the use of moving parts.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a self- propelled vehicle
without moving parts. It is a feature of my invention to provide an
apparatus for producing relative motion between a structure and the
surrounding medium which apparatus includes a pair of electrodes of
appropriate form held in fixed spaced relation to each other and immersed
in a dielectric medium and oppositely charged. It is another feature of my
invention to provide apparatus which includes a body defining one
electrode, another separate electrode supported in fixed spaced relation by
said body, and a source of high electrical potential connected between the
body and the separate electrode. >> ( Extract from US Patent N2949550
