Sidd Naidu
Hi, I'm Sidd. I'm a student most interested in electronics and low level hardware. I design and build high voltage electronics, custom PCBs, applied physics demonstrations, and manufacturing machines.
Featured projects
Cold plasma sterilizer
Corona discharge based sterilizer tested on K-12 E. coli with inbuilt ozone and UV monitoring.
SGTC + SSTC
Dual resonance physics learned through the original spark gap coil, followed by designing a self-tuning modern solid-state coil.
Transformer Winder
Automatic transformer production for high voltage power supplies in all kinds of devices. Available at my shop.

Cold plasma sterilizer
Corona discharge based sterilizer tested on K-12 E. coli with inbuilt ozone and UV monitoring. This project was made for WSSEF and you can find the research paper by clicking the title above.
SSTC + SGTC
Dual resonance physics learned through the original spark gap coil, followed by designing a self-tuning modern solid-state coil. Click the title above for more information.
Transformer winder
Automatic transformer production for high voltage power supplies in all kinds of devices. Click the title above for more information, or visit the shop.
CNC mill
Aluminum capable desktop CNC mill with extreme rigidity. It can be assembled as a kit fairly easily, and rivals many in its price range. Click the title above to view repository.
3D printer
A bedslinger based off of the Bambu Labs A1 that I designed hoping to create a more reliable alternative. Click the title above to view repository.
Laser cutter
5W mini laser cutter with an emphasis on automatic safety systems. Click the title above to view repository.
Self-playing violin
AI-powered robot arm that played a violin with a bow, with integrated vibrato, tuning, and timings. Made for the AMD AI Hackathon. Click the title above to view repository.
Capacitor roulette
A russian-roulette style game but with exploding capacitors, made for the Github hardware hackathon. Click the title above to view repository.
About
I'm a student based in Washington who works with custom high voltage electronics, power systems, and manufacturing machines. I've self taught everything I know about electrical engineering and related fields.
