Re: Solid state Voltage multiplyer and TesLa coils

This will not work with a Tesla coil.  You need an iron core xmfr for 
a power source.  It might work if you to the trouble of rectifying 
the AC and charging a cap, but then you run into problems with the 
fact that DC is much harder to "quench" in the spark gap than AC is.
