You could also try to find thinner dielectric, although if it is too thin, your homemade cap might not survive the high voltage. If you want lots of capacitance (but perhaps not as much voltage ...

This step-by-step process showcases the creation of a compact high-voltage generator using a voltage multiplier circuit, capacitors, and diode components. By integrating lighter voltage circuits into ...

Learn how to create a high voltage generator using a flyback transformer’s ferrite core. This step-by-step process involves assembling a circuit with MOSFET z44, tip122, or D880 to boost voltage ...

Here’s how I do it using a Fluke high voltage probe as well as my own homemade probe ... is unless you’re working with Van de Graaff generators, but even then usually only the dome is ...
