Pulse-Magnetizer
About the Pulse-Magnetizer PCB
Pulse-Magnetizer is an open source PCB design by jjderooy, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a board, with 36 components from 25 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LM358 and LM7805_TO220. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 8 capacitors, 6 diodes, 2 ICs, 2 switches and 1 battery holder.
From the project
Schematics, BOM and builld instructions for a pulse magnetizer based on Yuriy Skvortsov's design.
Fortunately, Yuri Skvortsov published his design of a pulse magnetizer using a capacitor bank and coil to remagnetize hard drive magnets which was an excellent starting point for this project. This repository contains a modifed version of Yuri's that aims to improve safety and functionality with a basic control panel, laser cut wooden case, and basic build instructions.
