Build Your Own DC Converter
I’m comfortable rewiring basic household circuits, but this steps outside my electrical comfort zone. Pedro shows us how to build a Direct Current converter, which, according to the site, uses the CMOS 4093 IC to build an oscillator that drives an audio power transistor to pilot the primary of a small transformer…which output give us about 200 to 220 VDC. This is enough power for things like Neon lights, nixie tubes and a variety of transmitters. If anyone knows of a better way to make a DC converter, pass it on.
