150KV Voltage Multiplier

So I thought why not make a circuit than can easily fry me? It can probably be improved.

It outputs 150KV when connected to US Mains AC

Microwave oven transformer  steps up 120VAC to 2000VAC then a 4 stage Cockcroft Walton generator steps it up to 150KVDC.

Adjust the 20 Ohm resistor to your liking to limit current and not blow a fuse.

Hook up some raw bacon to the terminals. Instant cook bacon.

6.4kW continuous power output when the power resistor is set to minimum....... WE NEED MORE POWER! I wanna pull at least 20 amps from that supply!

@AZMCircuit, can you explain in more detail what you think is wrong in this circuit and how you measured your values of “20amps & 6.4kW continues“? I measured after a few seconds running in reality, not more then 2W continues!

If water gets between the terminals(undistilled, 5k resistance) it will pass 2 million watts through it momentarily!!

On Us mains it can unleash around 12kW on human skin for 1.5M Ohms

I can get 10000A if i short a 1pF loaded at 6.283Vcapacitor for 10.7ps, so what....

So what? Its still discharges in 10ps, not enough to do any damage....

It was just a nonsense response to @AZMcitcuit.
