I had one of those ear-trimmer clippers that wouldn't run anymore on an AA battery, so I just spliced a 5V AC adapter onto it. It got hot and I made a point of putting the blades under the faucet before using it, but it worked much more aggressively than when new for a couple of years that way.

@ianhosier4042 Жыл бұрын
It's the frequency that controls the speed not the volts but they certainly have more torque at the higher voltage due to the higher coil current and of course eventually the coils burn out due to drawing roughly 4 times the power they should.

Gary is probably the person who hand drew that PCB in the clock. A Variac is more fun here in the UK as it allows you to overvolt even 230v stuff. I blew quite a lot of American stuff up on it when we were refurbishing the lab starting at 110v and then ramping up the volts until the magic smoke came out. I remember that 110v AC fans don't go any faster on 275v but they definitely run buzzier and hotter until they release the magic smoke!

One word - China. In China many household goods have the standard 2-flat-blade plug like we have. Their standard outlet has the ability to accept a round pin or flat-blade plug.

Thanks! And yep, next time I'm just gonna bypass them from the start.

Thing is that it's still running the same wattage so you would need to tap into the dryer outlet and get 240 volts with 3000 watts but if it's just about voltage then you need should step it up to over 9000 volts
@inductivelycoupledplasma6207 Жыл бұрын
No, it isn't running the same wattage. Depending on the type of load, it could be drawing nearly 4x it's normal power at 2x rated voltage. Best thing for busting electronics is anything from around 500V to 5kV at considerable current (at least 20kVA apparent power).
