Voltage source is alternative. Here we have 5 VAC supplied by transformer (6 V peak) Greinacher circuit is composed of several stages (you may add as many stages as you want). Each stage is composed of 2 condensators and 2 diodes. Each stage rectifies and multiplicates voltage by 2. Here are 2 stages. So voltage is multiplicated by 4 (2x2). Voltages are : . input 1st stage : 6 VAC (peak) . output 1st stage : 12 VDC . output 2nd stage : 24 VDC
