RE: [TCML] transformer oil source or substitute?

["Jim Mora" <wavetuner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

How much current are you seeking? Each stage of a multiplier divides the
current by n. Hi frequency rules for these. Check out this cool calculator:
http://www.cosmicrays.org/muon-cockroft-walton-calculation.php for half and
fullwave multipliers.

You can also get a vacuum pump at auto stores that have a gauge on them and
are hand operated. They work very well for small volumes of air- such as in
a small x-ray tank. 

I think building a 60KV supply will be a challenge. You already have the
x-ray transformer. Go for it!

To all who responded to this, thanks.  I am debating whether or not to place
the xformer back in oil, or just build a small 60 KV DC supply based on a
flyback/ multiplier combination.  From what most say, the xformer needs to
be under vacuum to get all the bubbles and I don't have access to such
equipment.  I notice that larger ceramic capacitors, which were always a
hiccup for me when considering the multiplier route,  have dropped in price
recently so the possible multiplier route is now feasible.  Now just to
decide.
