Yes, this rectifier will do exactly that.
For future reference: NST- Neon Sign Transformer - will step up wall voltage to anywhere from 3kV to 15kV, and are current limited to anywhere from 15mA to 120mA. Make sure to use the large, iron core ones not the new, solid-state ones.
MOT-microwave oven transformer- durable, high power transformer found in a microwave that steps wall voltage up to around 2kVAC, at power usually between 900W and 1700W. Be careful- these are not current limited!
EDIT: Of course, both of these items make too much voltage for that particular rectifier.

Ok thanks for all the help. Let me run over the basic design so yall can tell me if im missing something 1. Wall outlet to most likely 9 or 12 kv transformer 2.Run trhough rectifier to make DC 3. Wire through capacitor bank (not known what size and quantity. Suggestions welcome) Run through switch then into rails. Anything im missing. This is just a brief overview. thanks

Im looking at getting some caps rated at 12000V and 50nF or 100nF. Would i get a substantial amount of energy from these if i use enough? Im kind of unfamiliar with capacitors
