hi
i have a spare computer smps and i wanted to add an additional circuit to provide 24v at a high current, and the perfect candidate was this http://www.reuk.co.uk/OtherImages/power-transistor-voltage-regulator.jpg.
i want to take it's input from the main transformer output, the one that is connected directly to the schottky diode. i wonder if that's gonna do the job or is it going to be a mess. also i wanted to know whether i have to add a capacitor at the input of the new circuit to smooth things up or that will affect the schottky diode operation.
i don't want my adjustment to be destructive, as i will need the default voltages that the unit provides.
thanx
