Re: [TCML] Voltage/power dissapation drop across HV DC current limiting resistors.

To all:

Note that you don't have to spray charge in the belts from an active 
source. The same effect can be obtained by just connecting the lower 
roller, insulated and made of conductive material, to a relatively 
high-voltage supply, ald letting the grounded comb do the spraying. In 
this way practically no current is drawn from the power supply, that can 
be much simpler. All the energy comes from the movement of the belt. A 
small electrostatic friction machine can be used, as a small VDG 
generator using just a rubber band as belt. A small Wimshurst machine 
made with CD disks can be used to provide bipolar output in this way.
