Terry/Marc,

That is exactly what I was working on last year (20-1N5408's per string).
With the failures I experienced I'd up the count to 30 (25 as you proposed
may be just enough)...

See the following URL for details of my DC exploits

Hi Marc,

Is is totally untested so beware!!  But my idea for doing this with my
SSgap system is at:

http://hot-streamer-dot-com/TeslaCoils/MyCoils/SolidStateCoil/SSgap2001-4-1/High
VoltageRectifier.jpg

That is supposed to be all one line.  It is just long strings of plain 1
amp 1000PIV diodes strung together in a bridge configuration.

Cheers,

	Terry
