Photo flash charger minimizes parts count - 10/22/98 EDN-Design Ideas:
Photo-flash and strobe devices operate by discharging a high-voltage capacitor into a
bulb. Charging the capacitor from a battery or other low-voltage source requires a
step-up dc/dc converter to boost the voltage, typically to 300V. One way to generate
the high voltage.....(design idea added 2/06)
Trigger Circuit for Strobes - circuits which can be used for triggering
stroboscopes from external signals (added 4/02)
Typical Strobe Light Trigger Circuit - This circuit typically uses a voltage
around 300 volts for the main high voltage supply and needs a low voltage supply of
typically 6 to 15 volts…. (electronic Circuit / Schematic added 10/04)
Welch Scientific Model 2153C Stroboscope - a schematic for a typical line operated
variable rate Strobe used for the visualization of moving parts as well as rotation
speed or frequency determination of rotating or vibrating machinery (added 4/02)
Xenon Flash & Strobe Page - Designed as a companion to the LX800, can also be used
by itself (electronic schematic / circuit added 4/02)
Xenon flash valve - An experiment of the xenon flash valve. (added 10/05)
Xenon Flasher (Colin
Mitchell) - You are going to like this project. It costs less than $3.00, contains six
BUILDING BLOCKS, re-cycles a disposable flash camera and you are going to learn a lot
about electronics.
Everyone has seen a disposable flash camera….(circuit design added 08/08)
Xenon Strobe Light (Linscott) - The way that this circuit works is as follows. The
AC line voltage is rectified by D1 and D2 which connects to a voltage doubler circuit
made up of the two 22uf capacitors. The Flash Freq. Pot and the 10uf capacitor charge
up which triggers the Diac ….(added 5/02)
Xenon Strobe Light (Rod Elliott) - Designed as a companion to the LX800, can also
be used by itself (electronic schematic / circuit added 4/02)
