Oh I forgot to mention, any good suggestions for current limiting here?
30ma is far too much for a VDG am I'm sure most of it's going to be wasted
anyway. Do i need a good old variac or some other cheaper alternative? Will
a light dimmer really work i this situation?
Thank you!

Hello, all does anyone know a good source for HV diodes for rectifying
NST? Specifically up to 15KV at 30ma I would assume I need to account for
RMS so probably around 20KV.
I think I can get away with just one for half wave and maybe a cap for
smoothing it a bit, but that would need to be a pretty decent cap to deal
with 60HZ at that voltage.
I'm using this to build a HV DC fed VDG does anyone have any hints or
suggestions? I know I can find both diodes and caps in microwave ovens but
its a pain to pull them apart and they are commonly too low voltage.
I have found a few online retailers just wondering if there may be an
alternate source, or anyone have some for sale etc.
Thanks for any help!
