Hi All,
	I was sitting looking at a Cockroft-
Walton multiplier that i had discarded due to 
poor performance today and thinking - if only 
i could get 1000v -at- a few Khz it would work 
fine, to cut a long story short i remebered 
that a low voltage lighting 'transformer' 
(actually SMPSU) i had bought at one tiem had 
an unrectified 10Khz 12v output. i was 
thinking that as these are good for about 90w 
you could shove them into the LV side of a 
smallish transformer (maybee nick one from 
soemthing like a computer power supply or an 
ignition coil, or maybe even somthing like a 
valve output transformer) and get say 750v - 
1000v -at- 10khz, put that through a few voltage 
doubler stages for say 5kv - which should be 
fairly efficient at high frequency, rectify it 
and use it for a small, light (less copper and 
iron) and portable 12v coil. Cute Huh?!

what i wanted to ask was... would it work?

regards

alex
