DC power supplies

No, that's definitely NOT the case, Andy! Your nod to safety is very much appreciated, believe me. I try to watch out for chemical safety just like you're doing with the electrical stuff. I would hope any here would apply their expertise to help someone avoid hazard.

Why would the controller cost so danged much if all one needs is a simple DC circuit?

Brent, that's a kind offer. I will get back with you after I see where this goes.

Thanks, again, guys!

If its produced in a small house it costs a lot because they are done one at a time by the engineers themselves and the overhead is just high. If its produced at a big house it costs a lot because of unions, duties, executive salaries, liability insurance, etc. Are you a chemical engineer or a chemist?

Chemist. My area of expertise was isolation and purification. I spent years as a "professional turd herder", isolating chemicals such as antibiotics from fermented products (erithromycin, spectinomycin, vancomycin, etc.) People don't stop to think about, but alot of our antibiotics are basically "bug" feces!

My last postion was cleaning up the messes only a synthetic organic chemist could create.

Wow. That sounds like a ton of fun. Why do you like pounding steel?

I am medically retired. I don't get to pound much steel anymore, either, unfortunately.

It was really interesting work for 30 years. I made some decent contributions that have actually helped humanity a wee bit. It was also working for a Fortune 50 company, with the attendant corporate BS. I don't miss it a whole lot....

I enjoy the "knife arts", if you would, because it encompasses both metalworking skills and artistry.
