Method for converting HV (static) into usable low-voltage power.

[Steven Dufresne]

Interesting setup, could you post any more photos?

I've attached a photo from an experiment with all the woven wires but before I'd put the resistors in place. I think I was testing with a diode in the photo. I do all kinds of tests.

..I have some similar ideas;  ...I found some 'stained glass foiling tape' which is copper foil with an adhesive backing, I think that this may serve your purposes quite well also.  I found mine at hobby lobby and it requires less work for making sectors and comes in a variety of widths.  this website has some of those materials: www.diamondtechcrafts.com.

The edges would still be too sharp to avoid leakage, if that's what you're also after. The wire I use is the same thickness as the wire used for old clothes hangers. And I make sure the ends terminate inside the disk with epoxy insulation all around.

If leakage is not an issue then I often use plumber's aluminium tape, available in most hardware stores.

Another way could be transforming the bidirectional energy (2wires, common) to an unidirectional impulse (1 wire) energy. Then, you can use an ignition coil to receive unidirectional high voltage and transform it to bidirectional low-voltage high current Pulsed DC.

Another way, as showed before, is to use the capacitive transformer. But in both cases you need to use unidirectional impulses as the input energy.
Perreault explains very well the circuitry to do that. Maybe some fractionation techniques must be envolved to accomplish that.

hi everyone here is my simple idea to convert HV into L-Volts


note : You must know first the highest voltage AND CURRENT  that you can get ok.

Buy many transformer then connect the primaries in series then connect all secondaries in parallel ok thats how simple it is, cause it will act as a single transformer ok 

then everything is self explanatory right ?


TESTED BY ALL OF US OK            LOL

DOES IT NEED PROOF STILL?      JOKE! 


ANOTHER SIMPLE IDEA?
don't you notice the chargers of cellphone today?, they are not using transformer but  resistors.

get a lot of resistor of atleast 1M ohms ok then connect them in series of what volts you desire ok 
its like series of resistors connected parallel to the source ok. 

sample? : how will you connect a LED in a 240 V ? don't you notice that there is resistor there? ok bye .

thinking i could drop 45VK down to 2300, then again down to 115V ... little did i realize, these things are designed for 2-3KV, when i pump 45KV through it, it sparks all over the place and doesnt do its job....

Putting 10-12 of the MOT's in series on the 45 KV side and then lowering the 115 VAC again might have worked.  You didn't have enough of the MOT's to begin with.

Sorry, I did the math wrong in my head:  It's 20-25 MOT's in series with more than one string in parallel to handle the potentially high current if necessary.  A large industrial transformer can lower the 115 VAC to 12VAC.
