All of you are awesome!!!!
Sorry for not being able to get back regarding this thread. i have been caught up trying to find employment as a design engineer and let me tell you one thing.. the job market is hard these days
![Sad :(](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
I am not entirely after an unregulated power supply. Its going to involve a switch mode power supply eventually using a very concise and efficient chip: LM2576S-ADJ
I haven't used this chip but i have very carefully read and calculated situations using its data sheet.
I have ordered the basic caps and diodes ( i already had a transformer) and once they get to me.. ill build it up and run some real world simulations on the unregulated power supply circuit and post back with schematics and screen captures.
if time permits, i urge all of you to keep a periodic check on this thread for updates and maybe hand over some guidance to me
