Voltage multipliers of all types. from cockroft walton to marx..
I love this idea I Don't think that it's output gives off PULSES
SO if any of yo guys can give me a schematic for a voltage multiplier that wont give pulses. And would make the mains voltage 220 volts about 12kv to 15 kv with atleast 30 MA The more amps that the schematic can give me the better. max volts i would want is 20kv. and if it will pulse. Then can i use it for a SGTC with out a capacitor bank? thanks..

you can build a transformer with 200 turns on the primary and 22000 turns on the secondary, that would give you a 20kv pulse,

Two points, first, CW multipliers become very inefficient with more than ~15 stages, so 12kV from a 240V supply probably won't be possible.
Secondly, if I understand what you mean by 'pulses', the way to avoid this and get a smoother output is to use a high value resistor on the output, but I'm not sure this answers your question.

Well, you'd need a six stage doubler to get ~12kV, you wouldn't need ballast as you are powering a multiplier, not drawing arcs straight from the MOT. Assuming it's a 1kW MOT, you'd get a theoretical maximum of ~80mA, I think, but it would be less than this, due to inefficiencies/losses. It would also depend on capacitor values.
I think you'd need much higher value and higher power resistors, probably in the M Ohm range, to get a continuous arc. Maybe someone else can go into more detail here?

I 'd be probably drawing arcs AND powering a tesla coil too.. Also can i make my own ballast no just short another mots secondary.. Cause i will be buying new mots. and those are so friggin expensive and my mot will be a 750 watts
