Voltage Multiplier Circuit Design

[ayaz15m]

I have seen this but it doesn't go through the circuit since this person is using an ion ray gun.

Because I still have these questions about the last capacitor in the multiplier circuit.

So next I want to find out in the diagrams you posted above you said the cx(last capacitor) needs to be rated higher than the output voltage. So in my case I need a 40 kv cap because my output should be 38 kv. How crucial is to have it at that rating? Is it possible to use two caps rated at 20 kv each to get 40 kv. So based off this in the multiplier you made, was your last cap rated at 130 kv or did you do something else?

No, my multiplier was not the same as the schematics I gave you.
All my caps were 30Kv.

Yes you could Series Two 20KV caps to get 40KV.

Just would like to make sure about the polarities coming out of the circuit before I test out my tube at full voltage. Please see attach and let me know if polarities are in correct positions. Thanks.

Yes that is Correct.

Thanks so much for all your help. Everything worked out great!

What voltage did you end up with?

 

[ayaz15m]

About 38kV
