In my never ending quest to develop a robust and easy to build power supply
for my mobile MP3 player, I've come across an interesting Lucent DC/DC
converter from All electronics (www.allelectronics.com). The only problem
is that the part requires 36-72V DC at about 1 amp for input. I've scoured
the web for a useful boost setup, but every design I've seen that uses
a regular transformer complains of very poor conversion efficiency.

It's becoming clear from my readings that a flyback transformer setup is
required to get efficient operation. However it's not clear how to obtain
such a beast. The supply houses generally carry ordinary step down
transformers.

So any suggestions? The output doesn't require any rigid regulation, just
the ability to provide 1A at about 40V or so.
