High voltage supply questions! :)
Ok, well a few friends of mine have come together to build a fuser and an electron accelerator.
I have obtained an NST at 20ma 6 kv DC , but would like to build a crockcroft walton voltage multiplier for the accelerator. My question is, will this setup run off a constant DC ? Or must it be a pulsed DC or an AC current. My voltage goal is +/- 100kv at no load. What parts and what method would be needed to construct this. (as in where to find the HV diodes, and what type of capacitor) I'm aware i could run the CW multiplier off of the house current, but the amperage is too much for the wire.
Also for the CW multiplier, could home made laden jars be used? And I've seen some built with a rectifier, why is this if it is supposed to convert ac to a higher dc voltage on its own.
The other power supply witch is more ideal for the fuser, needs an ability to take my 6kv NST DC, and up it to at least 25 kv 20ma DC at a constant rate. How would i do this? Capacitors in series are a daunting task. Would it be much easier to build a ready made power supply? Thanks to all!
