 Ok so I've quickly set this up. I wonder where on my connector blocks are going. So I'll keep leaving them on things. Right so let me want to go back to the amp stand on this. I just want to see if this power supply is capable of delivering the same as what the other one was. About 140 watts wasn't it. So that's connected to this still. All I'm going to do is connect to here. Ah well that's interesting. So if you look over there it's the same load. 0.9. That is interesting. So there's no reason why these wires, not that they'll be able to withstand it for very long, but no reason why they shouldn't be able to withstand that. So that other power supply was delivering 3.4 something amps wasn't it. And this one clearly is not. And it has, you know, all the wires pretty much connected to this should be all the 12 volts together. And three of the earth's grounds, probably should say really, grounds on this. Three of those that should be plenty enough to deliver that power. So I thought that this supply was faulty. I couldn't remember where I got it from you see. So chances are it's not the one that I bought. It's one that's come with the repair. And that's all right. I love the wires off this. I need wire. Go ablani. Surprise how much wire you get through playing on this stuff. So right let me just get the other power supply and set that up as well. We'll see what that one does. I said it'd be a quick stopper, which I've done that. There it is. So all I've got to do is literally connect to that. This is just the power switch. Sorry, the power LED. That's the switch. It's continuously on. Didn't even take that out with the lack of this. So let me just wire that up. Okay. Provisionally ready to go. So let's get this back to the current setting. I'll keep telling it not to save the battery. So that's connected there. So if I flip this on, we've got our LED there. We've got the fan sound. Right. So we can get that to be in a better place, but I just don't want it to be touching anything else. I don't want it to. Okay. That's only an amp. That's only an amp. So, well, that goes to show me then that really these two supplies are not providing the power because that's one amp. That's 40 watts. Okay. So this is on 40 volts that I've not changed anything. I'll show you. I know you probably don't want me to show you because it's not lying. I mean, there's a freaking point in lying right there. But I'll just show you that I've made my life a lot easier than if I just left that one on. But and then I touched that on there. Oh, why did that do that? That's the right way around. Always because I've still got to catch into my amps here. That's not very good, but that's not doing my internals any good on this little tiny supply. It'd be interesting if that actually survives that we're trying amps in a minute. So that's in the 20 range. That's not going to work. Well, at least it was trying to read it. Okay. 40 volts looks still the same. So on the other one, it was doing three and a half amps at 40 volts on that Xbox power supply. But on these ATX ones, it's not leaving. Well, the other one was doing less than an amp, wasn't it? About 0.7 tonight, if I remember. This one's doing an amp for 40 watts. So far it's the Xbox one that's worked out to be the better one. Let's just go back and check the amps on this and see if that still works. Didn't hear a fuse pop. Oh, I don't think it has got a fuse, actually. It's one of them. Do it wrong and die. So what we want to see now is we're missing a connection. Right, so we want that over here. Okay, so let's just... And it's still reading. Good. But that's at 40 volts. 40 volts, one amp. That's all this thing's pulling out. It's supposed to be an ATX 500 watt. I don't expect 500 watt out of the 12 volt rail, but it says 22 amps at 12 volts. So I do expect a couple of hundred watts. Well, that was more interesting than trying to do this because I got to learn more by doing that. And that's the whole thing with me with this. It's not all in the case of, oh, let's, you know, have a great success in a particular project. It's about what can I learn and what I've learned with the videos that I've put up, these last few videos is, one, I still don't know whether that's performing the way it should do, but I do know that using these power supplies, they're not giving out enough power because just demonstrating it with that against the Xbox power supply. You get three times the amount of power out of the Xbox power supply. So I know that's good. So maybe I'll have to try that onto here with this 10 ohm load. And we'll see how that, how that does. I'll come back with that. Okay. So I've connected the Xbox power supply into the back of this piece, but I'm not even coming out of this into this just yet. Let's just forget about it. Let's just see if we can get this thing to play with a bit more wattage. So a minute, we're on top on two volts. And if I want to, that's still set up for arms. And if I was just to make that circuit there, we'll pull him just over an amp. And that does drop down to 11.8. But look, it's just over an amp there. Oh, yeah, of course I don't actually need this set up now, do I? I've got it there. Good. Right. Okay. I'll save the battery. Oh, just for the hell of it. Go on, let's have it on. Just for the hell of it. All right. So let's turn this up a little bit. So let's put on the 20 volts first. Oh, he cares. I guess straight to the 40 volts. What we want to see is like about three and a half amps, don't we? The same as what we had on the other one. Let's just see if it does it. All right. Okay. Let's see what I get. So you get everything in the picture. Two amps, pulls it down to 22 volts. And before on 40 volts, we had three and a half amps on this other one. And this other booster. So, okay, so I'm going to turn the voltage down because I'm just going to turn it down to something. I'm going to turn it as low as it will go, right? Because what I want to do now is I want to see if I can adjust the adjusting on that and see if that makes any difference. I don't expect it to, because again, it's not even good to the board, but let's see anyway. So we've got one up. Let's see. It's going to start small and soon. So let's go with this quickly. Okay. So that's clicking one way. I'll try to adjust it the other way. Turn to power. Yep. Absolutely no difference whatsoever. And I didn't expect it to, because like I said, it's not even connected. But interestingly enough, in this configuration with this boost converter, I'm only getting not, well, it's a little bit more than half the power, isn't it? Sorry for being really shaking. There's a little bit more than half the power, because again, if we just take out the 20 volts this time, and put that there, we've got 1.8 volts. 1.8 volts drops down to 19.2. Okay. And it sort of says 1.78. And it starts to smoke nice and more. Not going as much noise coming off this. So we go up to 40 again. All right. And let's just just check this across here quick. So 1.8. Then it pulls it down to 20. All right. I need to have a little look and see what I've done wrong here. I've probably done something wrong, haven't I? I've probably done it wrong. I just had to disconnect that, because I don't want it still powering up the back of this. So what have I done here? Can it be something to do with this switch? Because it has to go through the switch, the power, and then it comes here, and then it goes out and through the meter out to here. So am I going right? Maybe I better take that boost converter out and put the other one in there, just wire that into place and see what happens. Yeah, put that one in, because you know that even though it was making the noise, it was putting out the power. So I get to see, oh bloody hell, there's a lot of things like this connected, haven't I? Voltage controller here. But I wanted to be able to use it all exactly the same. You know, just have all these wires just disconnected. Put the other one straight in here, connect all back up again, and use it like that to see if it will work. I suppose I could, well I'd have to put this just on the other side of here, and leave that wire disconnected, because we know that one's still set up 40 volts anyway. Okay, so, can I back up that way? I've connected this up, I'll just shut that up like that, sorry. Oh, I don't know what's going on today. I've been eating all my spinach and everything and I still can't seem to get my brain to work properly. Right, so what I did, look, I just cut this, I disconnected these, I put some tape around, because apart from that one there, they've all got doubles going in. So I did put some tape around, it just makes it easier, because I know they're together. And that's it, so I can't do the volume control, because that's on this one. The voltage control adjustment, that's on that one. But what I can do, have I made this thing zoom in or something? No? But we know it's still adjusted for 40 volts. Okay, and that's all this test is about, is just to see if this setup, like the way it is, is okay, pulling that power for it, because remember, it was working before. So there's my little 10 ohm load, I've lost it, I didn't eat it at all, I was trying to eat my banana. Well, right, I'll just come back when I've found that. Okay, that's right in front of me. Okay, right, so we're still going through that, through this, not that we need it, it's just for a bit of a second opinion, I suppose. And I've got to plug in the power supply more than that yet, and then this is just going to be hitting on here, isn't it? We get that with the angle, yeah, good. Okay, right, let's plug this thing in. Okay, so we've got power in, 40 volts, look as you can see. Now we're looking for more than two ohms, that's what we have on. All right, you're ready, so we can get both into the shot. 1.2, huh? So it's something to do my setup here then, because 1.3 volts, pulling it down to 20, but not in this, I get a lot more power. Okay, well, okay. Well, I've learned something, and that's like done something wrong, or that I'm being heavily restricted by something. Okay, well I wanted to find out whether it was going to do that or not, and I've managed to find out how it's going to do that. So, interesting. And just while while I'm editing the video, and putting it together, whatever it is, it's all like loads of different bits, and of course I lost the load when the camera went stupid on me again, but it wouldn't be fair really to sort of say, well it's down to this setup, the wiring, the switch, stuff like that. If I didn't test this one now, I've got it out, because I can still turn the volume up a bit, but I've put it into 40 volts, and we can see if this one will actually give out a decent amount of power. What's that wire doing? I don't know why I'm fiddling with it right now. I wasn't even looking through the camera screen to see if you could see, but right, yeah, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to set this up now, and just do a quick bit on this to add to the end of the video. Okay, so we've got 39.5 volts, all right. I was an idiot, I was trying to turn, I was turning the pot on there, and then I realised I got to turn it there. I've still got it wired inside there, I'm not an idiot, never mind. So, right, so I'm going to set it up now for amps, and I'll tell you what was good was, it was still set in amps, I tried to make a voltage check, so I got a little spark, the unit went out, but I think it was my Xbox power supply, which tripped out before anything else, and I can't remember these things, it's got short-circuit protection, I think they have on the output, but I'm not sure what the input's like, I don't remember, anyway, never mind. So we've got 39.5 volts. Okay, right, so it's now set for amps, and we're looking for quite a bit, 1.6. So that's still not doing it very good. I need to check my dinner. Well, I don't mean to sit here and keep, sort of, in or her in or, but that's sort of suggested, so I'm going to keep it away for a minute or so, but I'm trying to get it so you can see, I'm touching this down here, not getting nowhere near that spark like off the other one, like off the one that's in there now, the 1.6 amps, at 40 volts, so 1.6 watts, isn't it? I don't know what's going on, and it's not going to make any difference if I adjust the current adjuster, like I say, it's not even connected to the circuit, give it a go anyway. This was worse, I can have a bit of 1.6 amps. My netty, that's going on. That is going on. I need to take that off. Okay, that's a little bit of adjustment there. Now, I have just noticed that this board doesn't have the writing down here, that's what was on this board. Everything else pretty much looks the same apart from a bit of the net in this, but there is some current that's just there. I just wanted to, like, resist the cool down a bit. Before I do that, I'm going to put a different load on it actually, so it's going to be a bit easier on it and just see if we get any more current adjustment. Okay, I'll put this, put it on the phone frame, across the two reds. Okay, for the current adjustment again, so that's all the way down. Why don't we, oh, why don't we take it all the way up? I think there was a little bit of adjustment there. So there is no current adjustment, but it was a bit strange, because on the other load it did sort of show a little bit of adjustment, didn't it? Well, I'm pretty damn sure that I did take them both apart, and I did be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I want to re-solder, even if I cut out top. I know I took it apart because I did try doing it from underneath the staff, and these are not actually connected. They go through and they get soldered, but there's no tracks go off and go anywhere, and you can see the ones on the voltage control they do, but they need current control they don't. Anyway, so that was interesting. Just wanted to see if that one worked as well as that one did, out of here, and this one much better, I mean, than what it was now in some of the videos, but three and a half hours wasn't it, 40 volts? The plot tickens. Okay, so it's not quite bedtime yet, and what I've done is I've taken, well, this is the one that was in there, this is the one that I tested, and it allowed more power through. So what I've done is I've just, I've got again the xbox power supply, that's the input here, the output is going directly to here, no switches, no meters, no nothing, directly to here, I've put the 10 ohm load back on, hang on, there you can see that, 39 volts, yeah, I've got 50 volts going into it, got 40 volts, and I remember when we did it before, it was about three and a half amps, wasn't it, 3.48 amps, had 40 volts on the output, let's have a little look what we do now, 3.48, 148 watts, lots of smoke, so that's better, that's better, that's what I expect to see. So between, well, this boost, booster not working, as well as this booster, and then in amongst all this wires, managed to lose quite a bit of power, okay, so at least I know that works like that, so tomorrow we'll get the coil out again, and we'll see if this power supply survives it, it'll be interesting, interesting to see, but we've definitely got some extra power there, let me get to see this one, okay, all right, I'll take a look here again tomorrow, thanks for watching.
