| Oct 7 at 23:06 | comment | added | BitLauncher | How many Watts does it consume? If you have 2 230V incandescant bulbs/halogen bulbs of e. g. 60W, you could use them as voltage divider - perhaps a load of 10W would still work? Or take 8 old, unused notebook SMPS with ca. 19V output, use the output in series for supply of C6 and a 5V USB charger for powering C2, ... Search for an very old (heavy) device with a 110/220 VAC switch - and look inside, is there a transformator? Power of that transformator in Watts? | |
| Oct 7 at 22:09 | comment | added | vorobey | Yeah, I thought about it, but I also want to learn from this opportunity. Also a new ultrasonic cleaner from Aliexpress would probably cost less the the transformer, and it is the only device I have that requires 120V, so it would be pretty pointless :) | |
