    Otaku, the hyperlink is not working. It goes to the address bar with the "..." rather than the missing info.

    Otaku,
    What do you think of this one, I was thinking of getting it for my wiper motor this year:
    12V 12A FAN-COOLED POWER SUPPLY | AllElectronics.com
    La mia caduta era lunga e quando infine ho conosciuto ancora il tocco della terra...il mio cuore era rotto... Banished per i crimini che ancora frequentano i miei sogni... ed all'interno di queste pagine un facade di che cosa la i era una volta si sveglia per essere i miei incubi...Ispirisi mantenere dal cadere come ho...

    With 12VDC at 12A you could run 3, possibly 4 wiper motors no problem. I've read that some people are successfuly running 2A supplies with their motors.

    It's basically an ATX power supply. The one user comment states although it is only has the cabling for the 12 volts, he was able to utilize the 5 and 3.3 volts as well by adding connections.

    I wonder if that gas tube power supply would be enough for a small Jacob's ladder... Probably not, but a thought.

    Nice find, I also came up with a possible free wiper motor supply....If you have a model train transformer laying around (make sure it has DC output), they are perfect. I had a 5 amp G scale transformer that I hooked up to a wiper motor, the control was 0-24 volts/dc so I just used the first half of the dial, it makes controlling the speed very easy and since I had it laying around it was free...These can be had on E-Bay for under $20.
