As of right now this circuit outputs ~48v DC (not totally smooth) still working on how to get the voltage of the supply down to 36v (required for a 36v PWM controller). The design is based on two 120v to 24v thermostat transformers (hopefully more robust than conventional power supplies.
The goal of this is to have something that is more reliable and can take more abuse than a store-bought power supply. This will supply the motor for a Van De Graff generator (which has already destroyed two other power supplies) any and all guidance would be appreciated! Thank you!
DISCLAIMER: I am a complete electronics novice and don't know a lot about most of the settings for the transformers or the diodes or even the capacitors. Please have mercy on my dumb mistakes.
