 yeah I thought I could I thought I could just leave it without doing the test but I need to know I need to know what's gonna happen if I put this on is it just gonna go pop so yeah so some way that's one of the sides nicely pop up to the side there so you can be seen I need the front one but we really need the voltage because they're gonna matter no it's gonna be positive isn't it yeah so this should take it to its limit this this should take it to its limit but not over it because I'm not gonna go over 12 volts so basically it's gonna be current limited by itself okay right so as it stands the current on sort of like full blast and the volume the voltage is all the way down so turn this on DC range yeah you can see that you should be able to see all this well this leaves up to me business and let's give it some up there let's start going up with okay so this is just opened up fully for the current by the time we get on to okay we got a little bit going through and I'll just start again the glow in the bulb I'm glad to see this baby is working on six volts the glow is actually on turn that off you can see that's on still see all that so it's nice to see then okay you're a slight bit going on with the current limit in there that was on full blast as well so let's turn that baby down okay well that does work just keep a check on things yeah that's very very hot now that's that transistor there is amazingly hot so I just disconnect for a second just blow a little bit of air on this baby just to cool it down it'd be nice if we had a better connection I mean I expected it I mean that is really really warm so I know that that heatsink is absolutely no good for that particular transistor we need a we need a bigger heatsink which isn't a biggie and we also need some sort of some sort of calling as well so I can put my I can connect 24 volts onto this fan have a fan there specifically in the case we're calling even though that fan won't fit into that case I'll have to see if I can find myself a little burn but the nice thing about it is everything survived these both cold this is the aging that hot and this is still very hot but the power supply is still working because the fans on everything else so that's so good yeah so I'm happy about that it's not just going to go pop and I think it actually current limited itself as I was 10 up I saw the current limit like come on but it was on full the actual current allowances full so I think the volume stand up full there at least it didn't just die we'll have to do some checks to see if we actually get three amps it didn't look half as bright as it did when I was controlling it with the different power source yesterday I think I did I'm not sure I put a video up of it but sure I did I know I did a video because I just saw one and that was using my own little 317 and they buy an ass transistor it's powered this baby and they did very well so anyway I'll have to look into putting a bit of a thermal coupling paste just to make sure that we are pulling off most of the heat away from that transistor and a bigger heat sink definitely a bigger heat sink is needed for that as big as what I can get I'm gonna fit into the case I'm gonna get for it well that I've already sent off for it's on its way to me hopefully anyway cheers watching guys that's pretty good because it actually worked I'm not sure if I actually got three amps through it because it didn't seem as bright as what it did when I was giving two and a half amps yesterday with a little power supply that I got thanks for watching
