High voltage multiplier 120000V

High voltage multiplier - Cockroft Walton:
- 12 stage
- 30kv, 2.4nF capacitors
- 1A, 40kv diodes
Powered by a flyback transformer:
- 20kHz
- 30 turns primary coil
- 220v input using a 555 timer circuit and a power MOSFET: HGTG27N120BN.
Current is limited using resistors both to input and output.

i dont think you are getting a full 120 KV. do the same experament with rounded smoothed discharge gap. or some sort of HV voltmeter.

[virgilius1979]

@powermaks Probably. I'm going to build a HV voltmeter to get a more precise value.

How did you do the high speed photography. It is very nice.

The whole unit is impressive.

[virgilius1979]

@MACHINEIRON It wasn't high speed. The arc was continuous, so to get multiple sparks, I used an exposure time of 1/3s at ISO 200.

What's the input watts at full power output? Will appreciate your answer, man.

Thank you.

[virgilius1979]

@mksboysal I didn't calculate it, but this flyback could not handle more than 2-300 W and not for a long time. However the "fat" arc power should me much higher due to the short time of the energy discharge. It's like the discussion of energy versus power of a lightning bolt.

@whackitov Wikipedia: "CW multipliers are typically used to develop high voltages for high-energy physics experiments or lightning safety testing. CW multipliers are also found in laser systems, high-voltage power supplies, X-ray systems, LCD backlighting, ion pumps, electrostatic systems, air ionisers, particle accelerators, oscilloscopes, bug zappers and many other applications that use high-voltage DC."

For me, like many others, it's just a hobby.

can you re-animate a dead corpse with it?

[anikidwolfy]

pod race anyone?

[LucentAMVs]

oo cool, haha what's the use of this device :o?

SWEET STEP 1 IN BUILDING MY OWN PODRACER LOL

[harteger]

just like a big stun gun

SWEEEEEET!!

@bundawartini "I really like... (etc)" Why the fuck do lots of people write comments like this??? Is it a new meme??
