thank you so much for your reply!
where can i buy all these parts to do the second method? i cannot find the 1:3 transformers on radioshacks website. are they called something else?
do you have a place you can suggest, where i can purchase all these components on-line?
also what are all the exact parts called and do you have part numbers?
i have searched the web all over and can only find transformers with an imput voltage of 85 and up.
could you please give a detailed explanation of how to build this power converter? in laymans terms. also a diagram would be so very nice!!!
please help me. i really want to learn how to build this. it would help me so much to have a circuit which could convert 6vac unregulated to 12vdc regulated.
this would help me and my friend so much as we both have vespas which we want to be capable of running 12vdc lights and accessorys.
here is more info on the vespas power output fron the stator-
it outputs 6vac unregulated, and it spikes as high as 10vac. and drops as low as 2vac. the stator ghenerally produces only enough power to run three 6vac 5w bulbs, and a 6vac 25w headlight. i have been told that combined wattage of all accesorys should not exceed 50-55watts.
i hope this is more helpful info. if you have other questions please just ask.
i hope very much that you can help.
sincerely,
nate.
