About

I help makers build RC, robotics, and electronics projects that actually move - with step-by-step tutorials and files. I am Max Imagination (you can call me Max), and here we turn your childhood tech dreams into real, working builds! Here you’ll learn electronics through hands-on projects like RC cars, drones, submarines, robots, and smart gadgets using ESP32, Arduino, circuits, and 3D-printed/mechanical design - explained clearly so you can build it yourself (not just watch it). Start here: 1. Subscribe to never miss a new project/guide 2. Watch a playlist (e.g. ESP32 Projects) 3. Get the project files/3D designs (links in video descriptions) For companies who want to become a sponsor in the next project video: Business inquiries ONLY: email me below ⬇⬇⬇

With an adjustable DC output of up to 36 volts & 5 amps out of this cool little box, the applications to what you can power with it are endless... From prototyping with fun circuits, to testing whichever components you need to test, to even powering a common household device through this thing, a power supply is a hands down essential apparatus to have at your workbench! This DIY Power Supply has also been featured in the Australian "DIYODE" Magazine!
