OT: @Windfall would love go get updates about your next products as well
The next power based product will be the KMPKT Merge that will allow you to synchronize two AC-DC power supplies into a single input. Will hopefully have more information on my heatsink soon as I am hoping to have assembly and testing done by the end of the month. I am also working on a new cabling accessory that should be pretty popular.

As of right now the Merge may be getting baked into the Dynamo 360 which would make it 16-24V. Are you looking for a unit to run two 80W AC-DC units on? If so you could quite safely use the PicoBox merge device. I have a couple of spares I can sell if you're keen.
Sorry for the thread necromancy, but is there any chance of a 350W/400W Dynamo Mini in the future?
Yeah, 400W is out of the question. There are however improvements planned for the next version of the Mini that will hopefully increase overall rating of the unit significantly.
Any updates on heatsink? @Kmpkt
I think a 12v, 250w Mini could be a winner, should easily fit into the existing design with no need for 19-12v conversion.
Power it with: https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/GST280A/GST280A-SPEC.PDF
With 7nm products around the corner, I think 250w will net you a really nice power solution for future lower midrange builds with a small power footprint.
There is a clear gap in the market for a certified solution with a little more headroom than the Mini (in the same kind of footprint)
I fully understand these are relatively low volume parts and you cannot cover every base.
I do however feel someone will eventually see potential in this power bracket and footprint.
Talk it over with Larry
Currently in assembly. Hopefully will have it back soonish.
I've discussed 12V with Larry and it's such a large shift for him I don't see it happening. In the future I am hoping that GaN AC-DC conversion will allow for highly efficient conversion from AC-DC in a reasonably priced package. I have ideas for a 12V based system at that point but realistically I see that as being a couple of years away yet. That being said I've recently tracked down an external AC-DC brick using GaN that has a rating of 200W, is 150mm x 55mm x 35mm in size and has 95%+ efficiency at both 12V and 19V which makes me very hopeful for the tech.
