this might be a question for notladstyle or someone like that... its some kind of circuit

 

Looks almost like a crossover design, with some crap in there that I don't know what it is lol.

 

well its to directions in building a laser power supply.. its used to control power so your not sending direct power to the diode so it wont burn it up.

 

well what did you want to know? you have a power source and circuitry.. where is the question? what exactly did you need to know?

 

well if you read the title you will see the question.. the question is in big BOLD letters and appears at the top browser

and incase you do not have a vocabulary

decipher= convert code into ordinary language..

i just need all of those labeled into ordinary english and not just 3 letter abbreviations

 

That is as simple of a circuit as you can get.

You need the Lm317 - it has three prongs on it. the middle prong sets the voltage, the left is input and the right is output.

The thing with the 100ohm over it is a variable potentiometer, it varies resistance from ~0 to 100 ohms.

you need a 47uf capacitor rated for at least 25 vols and a 1ohm resistor.

The circuit is apparently designed so that you can measure the power output to the diode by way of a DVM across the 1ohm resistor. The wattage will be the square of whatever the dvm display reads.

 

it looks like it runs the flux capacitor on the car, lol
