In a message dated 97-04-14 07:50:15 EDT, you write:

<< 
 The circuit is called a cascade voltage doubler , right ?
 If this is what you mean, these are used in the triplers
 in tv sets.
 If I build one of these with 27 1uf caps  and 27 doides, from
 a 220v supply I'd get 7500vdc on the output.
 How much current can this supply ? can I use this
 to power a tesla ? if so this makes things much simpler than using
 an xf.
 some of you guys reacted negatively on this so can someone
 give a final answer, is this good or not ?

Kenneth,

Voltage doubler and tripler circuits are good for providing high voltage
DC
for experimenting but will not supply more than a few milliamps of
current.
 Tesla coils need much more current, like 30 to 60 to 100 ma.
