Inspired by a trip to the surplus store they were selling 100kv tazers and i wanted one so bad but they were far to expensive to buy. i decided to make my own so i came up with this circut using a homemade Inverter transformer connected to a 2 stage CW multiplier that charges a cap that discharges into a 900v sidac bank then into a pulse transformer that steps the voltage up to around 125kv. Please post any corrections or improvements that should be made with the circut.

How is supposed the oscillator to work without a feedback winding? Also why ground the secondary side? It isn't necessary at all, and it will prevent shocking you wia pushbutton switch

ok i will not ground the bottom of the secondary and as far as the feedback winding i used the top left one so i dident know that a feedback winding is needed.
edit: this is the pulse transformer i am planning to use

funny you should link to those, I actually bought those same transformers from that guy awhile back. I didnt push any real powerful pulses through them yet, tho. All I did was charge a 2.2uf cap to 320V with a camera inverter, then discharge it thru the primary via SCR.
It gave a bright, inch-long spark that i didnt touch, but looked painful. It was only semi-auto since i didnt have sidacs for firing, just SCRs. But it could fire as fast i I pushed the button, probably around 7 times per second.
You've just inspired me, maybe ill try some more stuff with them. BTW I believe they are from those electronic gas grill igniters.

i couls completely change the design concept and downsize a camera circut like and put a 2.2uf cap with a 300v sidac discharging into the pulse transformer because a 1" spark is all i really need because im not trying to make something to actually defend myself but just to have around and if it is painful so i can shock myself at 2am just kidding but anyway that may work. I could also parallell a 300v scr and a 80v scr to make it trigger at 380v giving me a little more volts.
