In this video, I took a look at a capacitor discharger I bought on Aliexpress and reverse-engineered its schematics. The design is rather complex. Here is a link where I bought it from: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4ormulL Please see my post for reverse engineering pictures and schematics: youtube.com/post/Ugkx8sDoY84CvuLwmPzXQZ3NX4t_6uOxjHxq
