Hello all,
I would like to build a small emp for testing purposes.
Can someone point me in the right direction for a charge circuit that inputs 3-6 volts and outputs 100-200 when triggered (essentially like a camera flash)
Thank you.

Well, you said it. Why not use a camera flash circuit? You could hack one out of a disposable film camera.

I considered using a camera flash originally, but I would like to try to build from scratch to learn how. I was thinking of just using a boost converter, but would like to know if there is a better way?

Be wary. There is enough stored high voltage energy in a camera flash, or similar boost converter, to KILL you.
