Ive been asked by many what this unit is, and how to make it. So here it goes. This is a simple power supply. The switch makes it either put out a continuous 5V DC, or move switch, and you can put out between 0-16 volts using a pententiometer. I only use the 5V one for electrolysis. Works well. Heres some pictures. Its easy to make, as long as you have the right supplies. lol I think you are able to go to like radio shack and buy a kit or something to make your own circuit board.. not sure. Heres some pics of it. If yall want me to, maybe i can draw up a PCB design based off of mine. HH yall!!

Now heres the skematic, use this picture if your going to print it out so that it will fit onto a piece of paper..

Now use this picture because its easier to view on computer, but if you print it out, it will not turn out right!! i can gurantee you. Will turn out small, and distorted.

take a cell phone charger, or some other type of charger, game boy power supply type thing that puts out around 6V DC, and strip the wires, and put a red alligator clip on positive, and a black one on negative. Then just attach negative to the ring, coin, etc. Then attach the positive to some sort of Stainless Steel. I use some 14 gauge wire to put the rings/coins on, and another to put the SS washer on. That way it doesnt eat up my alligator clips, will add pics soon. Good luck, HH
