RES   I don't think there is a limit to what metals can be plated to each other, only where to get the different metals in solution

do you  have the  formula for  the  different  metals ?
Or  a link?

If  you know  the process and the formula  usually   something  can be found online .

You can increase the voltage max of diodes by placing them in series. The only drawback is a voltage drop across each. Don't think this is practical for a 40V diode though...

This is a very interesting device but in my opinion it has some drawbacks...Or at least there a few things that I can't understand at the moment.

a) How could somebody stop this machine from going up to uncontrolled amounts of power and destroy itself?

b) From my little experience on electronics, when relays are used, the machine's life is decreased due to moving parts inside the relay. On this specific occasion, where sparks coexist with relays, I don't think the last ones will stand enough...

c) I think I will start replicating it but because I can't understand the diagram completely, could somebody please give a detailed description of the parts needed for a complete first stage and the extra parts needed for stage 2,3 etc.? I don't see any values on the relays (type etc.), caps (electrolytic or ceramic, values) and on diodes

Thank you in advance for the effort!

I disagree with Stefan.. I believe the sparks in the relays is where you waste energy.. I believe FETs would be better.
