Mon Nov 22 2010 I re-created this device using a new design: - the diodes (rated at 12KV 10mA) where connected in parallel pairs for 12KV 20mA - the caps (6KV 10nF) where connected in series for 12KV 5nF - the multiplier has 12 levels now, half is a 6 level negative multiplier and the other half is a 6 level positive multiplier, to reduce the ripple effect. - a ZVS driver and a Flyback were added to an enclosure containing the multiplier for a ready-to-go 12V to 50KV supply.
Schematics:
Construction details:
I use it with max 12V input. For 10V in it puts out aprox. 50KV. I tried to power a lifter and worked well. It doesn't heat, and can run for a long time. A short video:
Fri Oct 29 2010 Hi Guys,
Some time after I had the chance to test a Glassman high voltage multiplier module, I decided to build my own multiplier, to have everything as per my requirements.
So I come up with this 28 stages half wave multiplier.
See the construction details, x-ray tests and how to further connect a TV cascade to this multiplier here:

yes . that one was also beeping. I can wrap them in aluminum foil and retest just to be sure it is photons what's causing the high-count. but not before I get some lead for setting up a shield for the tube.

Since I was feeding 10KV into this multiplier, much over the components rating, one of the capacitors failed, resulting in short circuit of the entire multiplier. So I had to dismantle it, clean the oil and do a better design.
I've modified the first post to show the current status.
