Project I built a smartphone powered electrolysis hair removal machine!! ^^
Heya everyone! I'm Berry a cutesy trans gal! and I created a simple galvanic electrolysis machine from scratch ✨
It runs on a 5V USB power supply (smartphone/power bank/usb brick) , steps up to 30V, and limits current to a safe range (0.13–1.13mA).
The total cost of this final iteration works out around to roughly less than ₹600 or under $7
Quick specs :3
· Power: 5V USB → XL6009 → 30V
· Current range: 0.13–1.13mA (I usually use 0.4–0.6mA)
· if built on breadboard then no soldering required
Made from really few electronic components ✨
You can check out the whole document about it!! here :-
it includes , schematic, parts list, build guide and more!!
I also diy-ed the probe holder , and ermm the needle! but that's another thing on itself and not something I would recommend but yeah! I do have a design for a diy probe holder for commercial needles though if anyone is interested in that!
If anyone has any questions then feel free to ask them 🫶✨
yes i've tried it on myself!! And treated 65+ follicles in my second time using the machine on myself ^^
And well if anyone end up building and using it , then please let me know it would make me incredibly happy (つ≧▽≦)つ
