I built a solid state flasher for my motorcycle - can flash from 200

cut the tab off the TO220 case to save room.

Impressive. I imagine such a mosfet might be a little pricey?

Yeah boy, cost a whole 99 cents. Spec on the part is N channel, Vds
50V, Ids 38 amps, Rds (on) .038 ohms.

PN > BUK455-50B

another IRFZ34 50V, 30A, 05 ohms 89 cents

Pretty good lamp drivers - only downside may be that it takes a fast
blow fuse to protect it.

I dipped it in varnish and potted it in an empty dental floss case
with two wires for the connections. Only way to get a 10 ufd cap to
keep up the power while the circuit is busy making a short (shorting
its own power supply) was to use a mosfet.

Mounted it to the bike only to find there was an unused ground wire
there so it could use a two or three wire flasher - but it was fun to
tinker with.
