Voltage multiplier

A simple voltage multiplier, 35.6Vac(7.x times) was the maximum I could register out of a voltage of 5Vac at 60Hz. It approaches the max(and goes forth) as close as the blue line on the oscilloscope graph gets in resonant frequency(I observed that it starts with some'bout 72.5Hz and goes always down till 60Hz, then gets stable and keeps, but voltage goes increasing at useless values) with the AC source, green line on the graph.

The ou tput voltage is taken from the last diode, the 5Vac is actual ly 10V p-p and the voltage multiplying diodes are used in pairs, if extra stages are put on after the 4 pair, the Voltage at that point will drop slightly, see, http://everycircuit.com/circuit/5879973389533184
