A circuit which converts 120 Volts AC to 1.3k Volts DC.

A lot of credit goes to hurz for correcting my errors.

Reduce the 100uF down to 10nF for your own safty!

Oh thanks for pointing that out. I meant to put 100 nF but I will switch it to 10 nF

BTW, check out whats the difference of peak voltage and RMS voltage. 120V is rms and results in peak voltage of 170V! So you get.4*170= 680V!!!

I changed the peak voltage and added a few more stages to get over 1000 volts. Thanks for the help.
