      Sure, there are those lanterns with USB ports actually utilizing a dropper cap. Big Clive had one. The point to point wiring kinda gives it away though, PCB is cheaper in mass production.

      I think it was Big Clive who once took a lantern including a USB charge port that actually used a capacitor dropper apart... The point to point wiring is almost more curious, as it really would slow down the assembly process, PCB is cheaper in mass production.

      i use the fanuc eoat system for killing adaptors that have tingling feeling. just setting the tool length to 1 meters instead of standard and now it goes into the bosch exturded aluminium profile!! just need to set payload to less than 0.4 kg for lr mate 200id for it to not crash entirely into the profile bed!! it may be also good idea to set the inertial values but if you dont have payload checker bought then you may skip it!

    I really like the 220V version. I'd expect an industrial version with 3-phase 380V supply. After all USB has 4 pins, so it's perfect for 3 phases and a neutral. (grounding in important so ground will be connected to the usb socket external metallic part)

    • @sigataros

    The strange thing is that actual modern supplies are sometimes more efficient than the "eco" model. Its idle consumption is around 0.6W and its efficiency under load is limited to ~80% by the silicon diodes in the rectifier.

    Thank you for this very interesting video. I have recreated the second charger. Super efficient and very short charging times. When charging, I recommend having a fire extinguisher nearby and wearing ear protection, protective clothing and safety glasses to avoid any danger from the side effects of super-fast charging. A small inconvenience that I would like to mention is that each phone can only be charged once during its lifespan, which ends immediately after charging. 🤣😂🤣
