Power supplies for noobs

[Afroman]

Hey guys

I just got done with a trilogy of videos that will show you how to make simple regulated power supplies. The first video is about how to safely get from mains voltages down to a lower, safer AC voltage. The second shows you how to build a simple unregulated power supply. Then if you want voltage regulation, the third one covers simple linear voltage regulators. Hope this is useful!
