Cockcroft Walton Generator. An 8 stage multiplier by Ken Killeen of Terran Sky

Look what I built!
Its a Cockcroft-Walton Generator.
A highly versatile solid state voltage multiplier often used in TV and Xray production etc.
Mine has 8 stages which would theoretically multiply the input voltage by a factor of 8!
This uses low voltage ac or pulsed dc signals to boost up to 10s of thousand of volts if necessary .
I built it to power my Marx generator (a different but similar multiplier, see my previous videos for more).

Enjoy
