I think the 1000 uF in under a second is with this chip driving an external MOSFET witch isn't that amazing. The great thing is, however, that it is all integrated into a single package. There are a few of these controllers out there. They're mostly designed for use in charging a digital camera flash.

MArked One: If you get them I'd love to hear how they go :)
500v 1000uf in under a second is crazy fast to me :S and the size of the flybacks is amazing, maybe I'm just not as experienced with this stuff though...

I've done 2 charger circuits using Linear Tech ICs, I used the LT3750 and LT3468. Another Mantis has also made a succesful circuit using the LT3750 here: along with my fail. Robert Wilsford has used the LT3751 in this coilgun:
Note that the second charger isn't much faster than a DCC (Disposable Camera Circuit) Although it is almost definitely faster. Also the IC is very small and difficult to solder by hand

why not build a microprocessor controlled 3-axis image recognition, targeting and aiming system while you're at it, too?
The easiest and fastest charging system is a cheap 110v-to-220v step-up transformer and diode bridge. Connect these two parts, plug it in the wall and you're done.
Cheers, Barry Why is facebook teaching us vandalism, I mean, writing on walls?

Ok guys it was just a find :)
I'm going to try making a ZVS Flyback charger once I get some money to order the parts or maybe a boost converter first, I need to learn how to make circuits and not sure which to start with. I got plenty of flybacks and already removed the core from one without much damage.
I found this thinking it looked like a really fast charge thats all, I guess I was wrong.
Barry: I've only made portable chargers, and I live in Australia, our wall outlet is 240volts. So I'll just stick with portable :)
