300kv Power Supply Schematic?

Does anyone know any free source where I can find
schematics to make a 0-300 KV power supply?

for hydroponics?
haha

No, for capacitor charging experiments. I don't need much amps, like .03ma

I'll be frank - if you have to ask how/where to find/build a power supply greater than 30 volts, you have no business touching one.

300 kilovolts will arc through several meters of open air (once you account for mass ionization of the air that will be happening at such voltage levels).

It would be cheaper and far more efficient to douse your house in gasoline before hosing it down with a flamethrower.

My first thought also

I'm not sure how high a voltage people have managed to get with Tesla's contraption, I know some folks have made multiple circuits and linked them up to get more.

Contact these guys and see if they'll share there information with you. They make a 300kV power supply that weighs slightly under 5 tons.

If you are asking.. forget it you will kill yourself...

look here :

epaper.kek.jp...

hope you know a bit about electronics. most circuits on-line will only give you around 50kv, but you can increase the size of the multiplier without limit. eventually you will run into arcing problems, and you will have to cover everything in lacquer or varnish. you can also use the HT-transformer from a microwave-oven that drives a large multiplier stack. just remember to have bleeder-resistors over the caps, otherwise you might be in for a severe shock a couple of weeks after you turned off the psu

Any case, it is a fun project, if you don't blow up too much in the process

A marx generator + television set would work for you. google marx generator and you will be on your way. or you could buy a 100kv generator from me. pm me if interested

Something like this?


I have many more circuits, give me a few hours to look it up & post them

I think the Op wants something less complicated.

here is also a nice one

Perhaps you should reconsider your specifications? You do understand that a 300,000 Vdc @ 0.030 amps needs close to 10,000 watts of input power to operate? This supply will need at least a 60 amp 240 Vac single phase outlet to deliver the specified power.

From a practical standpoint, every open air connection about 50,000 volts needs a potential equalizing surface to prevent premature flash over. And at 300,000 volts you will need to fence off at least a 25 foot minimum diameter circle around the 300,000 volt electrode. Did I mention that the electronics must be submerged in dielectric oil or under pressure with SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride); you can get it in 1,200 pound tanks (it is sold as a liquid) for a few hundred.

I hope these "points-to-consider" help you to proceed safely!.

Best regards,

Why not try to mak a van de graaff generator, its a bit safer and its much simpler to build. What do yo need 300kv for though?

on topic, yea I agree, if your asking you don't have the knowhow, and should avoid death and instead watch a crazy londoner do the exact same, for example

www.youtube.com...

this guy usually works with pure amps but this one was an exeption to that rule.

I'd also like to point out you mention cap experiments, you realise standard caps have voltage ratings printed on the side that indicate the voltage at which it will explode, right? also heat.

Our local shop is out of them, can you give me a source of the Magic Smoke component, I really want to try this at home.

How did you come into possesion of this drawing sir?
This is a classified document from the Mexcian Space Program!

BEWARE! You will soon be visited by men in panchos and sombreros!

I'm not at liberty to say...

Operation Fast and Furriest was, however, not the source.

Awesome1 Thanks for the schematic, what's that rated to?
