Merry Christmas to all,

                                   yes, just need a schematic for a 
power supply.
Don't know anything about Kelvin water droppers, sorry.

I do have a good book "Homemade Lightening, Creative experiments in 
Electricity" by R.A.Ford.
Tab books. ISBN 0-07-137232-3.  This has plans for all sorts of HV 
apparatus, including a water
dropper. It says it is normally limltted to 15 kV and uses one tank to 
feed two jets at 150 drops
per second.
