Re: A 20 kV DC tank supply

As long as you can recharge the caps fast enough your idea will work.
Many times, with a straight AC supply, the recharge rate for full charge in
the caps is not fast enough and the RSG fires at less than full charge.
This produces the thinner streamer type sparks I was referring to. This is
especially true for large systems running large caps. Still, you might
have trouble with the diodes as Greg Leyh did during his initial testing.
