Is it impossible to think that I could use a 12V 50A max car battery charger transformer and make a 45V boost converter to run some steppers with a current draw of 2A per motor. total of 6A.
I want something simple and I already have this transformer, so even though it is not that efficient of a design. It fits my budget for this redneck project I am brainstorming.
Something like this, at least from that calculator on that page, it seems very plausible, as long as I can get a 555 or similar device to produce the PWM input.
