Please, help me (financially) build a DRSSTC

[Pavol]

Hello everyone!
I got myself in a pretty bad situation. Ok, maybe not too bad, but certainly quite complicated. I have already built a small DRSSTC using some TO-220 IGBTs. Don´t get me wrong, it works just fine, but it is a bit too underpowered for what I need.

I study at an electrotechnical high school and for the project, which is part of the graduation, I picked to build a DRSSTC. I need something more solid and robust, because the small DRSSTC I have was my first DRSSTC, so it doesn´t work very reliably. Every time I turn it on, it is pretty close to exploding. Now I have all the plans and calculations for bigger DRSSTC already done, but the financial part of the project is holding me back.

I am a student with practically no income, just paid for my driving license and my family isn´t in the best situation right now, because of the growing prices of everything.

Now, I am not complaining. Please do not think that I am trying to get easy money here, I have already bought the 942C capacitors which cost 200$ and the import tax will probably knock me down from my chair when I see it.
 
I will eventually buy all the components needed, I just respectfully ask you to support me with some money, so that I don´t end up completely broke after buying the CM300 IGBTs, snubbers and bus capacitors, and everything needed.

I set up a funding campaign a while back. It is a trusted crowdfunding company operating in middle Europe, completely legal and it supports the idea of founding money for whatever you want. Just to clarify that everything is legal and you can trust the site.


Thank you very much! I don´t have much to add, thank you for every single penny you decide to send me, it will help.
