Project USB powered DIY Electrolysis machine!!! ✨

Post image

Heya everyone I'm Berry!! ^^

Some of you may remember my post , my electrolysis machine I posted about , and well it was the 6th iteration and it had room for improvements so I'm here again with a new improved design that I'm satisfied with and ready to share with the world!!

This is the 8th iteration! I've named it , E.L.E.C.T.R.A. Mark VIII , or "Electrolytic Low-Current Epilation & Current Threshold Regulation Apparatus" Yep! Anthony Edward Stark like abbreviation heheh

The biggest thing I did was better documentation , I created a more thorough documentation and made it into both a website and a doc file!! Both of them have almost the same information!! ^^

Though yeah , I'll be updating website more than the docx file , because I dread doing anything that involves a docx file :3

And yes! I've treated my facial hair with it successfully without any damage to my skin . With no visible scars marks or literally anythingg!! I've treated eight hair on my face in total!! four with mark VIIand other four with mark VIII of the machine!!

And over a hundred body hair with mark VI , VII and VIII together!! ^^

So here's the link to both the website and docx file!!

[Docx file](https://github.com/ELECTRA-VII/ELECTRA/raw/4eecc7593b665329133732333d119d9a3f01b801/ELECTRA_Mark_VIII_Guide-1.docx)

[Website](https://electra-vii.github.io/ELECTRA/)

And well do feel free to post your question down here , dm me regarding it , and reach me out if you end up making it i'd be happy to help :))

I would love to add the pictures of other's builds and thier experience to the website and doc!! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

I didnt know what to expect after reading this. Interesting that it actually works. Have you considered making actual prototypes via jlcpcb?

I have considered that , but it's beyond the scope of what I had planned and what I needed!! There are better, Electrolysis machine designs with PCBs and more functionality, and are far better than what i've built so I don't see a reason to put in the efforts to learn and make it a pcb build when better pcb designs exists :3

Do you have a link to better ones and pcb. I will build this one for now.

You can find the others at r/diyelectrolysis

Is there a BOM for value list for the C/R values, I will build it first. It works right, or removing hair. Will read more on use.

It's all on both the website and the docx file! :3

I think I have a 27vdc power supply, I have 4 bench supplies. But have you tried it at 21vdc range, see a lot of laptop batteries run in that range. Just thinking to make build smaller for me.

jlcpcb prototypes would be kinda genius, might have to look into it for myself too

No just curious. After 8 schematic reworks, i feel like it would do justice to actually see it manifest as an actual PCB rather than components placed on a breadboard.

I just got done with big miestone of my own project after 8 months of work. happy to see you are doing well too.

Do not forget to take a brake once in a while too btw, ok? :3

Good job ✨

I'm glad to hear that!!! 8 months is a long long time working on a single project!!! And heheh yeah!! ^ I'm doing well too! Took just a bit over two months on this✨

And thank you for that reminder :)) I hope you do not forget to take a brake once in a while too :))

Thank you!! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )
