Hi all, dose anyone have a circuit diagram and parts list for a disposable camera flash? i did buy one but i seam to have broaken it, plus all the components are very small with near no markings so i cant work out what they are or what to order.
i really want to make one for a projecgt im doing but i only want to use a 150 - 200v capacitor, if one exsists (photoflash caps that is)
You can get the whole thing for under $2.00. I got 17 of them free once from somebody that works in a store that does pictures. Just ask at the counter, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, or similar. If they do film developing, if you want them keep asking around, you'll get lucky. If you know an employee, should be no problem.
Schematic... Search this forum, been done several times. On the web, several sites have Kodak Max, one is very good tells how to make it automatic.
Oh, believe you need 300-400 volts to light Xenon, a 4kv trigger to ionize a path for the discharge. Don't think 200 volts will do the job.
thanks for the information, ill have a look around. i dont want them to flash a bulb, i actually need them for a study im doing into electromagnets, and i wanted to study the Flux field effects from a 200v pulsed EM coil.
fantastic, iv found what ia was looking for, i just need some help working out what all the parts are!! i know a newbee question, but im getting there.
