  voltages from all three add up. For the 5KV transformer
shown, the output would be about 15KV.
The value of the capacitors affects the charging time,
as does the impedance of the secondary of the
transformer.

Fr. Tom;


This subject is really fascinating. I've worked with voltage doublers before
but have never seen a process that uses inductors, (with gaps,) in place of
diodes. What would the approximate values of the componets be? And would not
the spacing of the gaps need to be increased porportionately downline to
accommodate the higher voltage at each stage?


This thing sounds as if it has the potential to be a real crowd-pleaser.
But then, isn't that the way with all Tesla coils?


Thanks, Daniel Hess
