Yeah, the link I posted showing the AC output also shows how to connect up a tripler: http://ppl.ug/IEd55TCltCo/ > Nice to know the selection of rectifiers that cna be used. Yeah, jt's power supply operates at a high frequency (so it can be compact), so a tripler for it should use fast diodes. Mike's chopper circuit (as he pointed out) is lower frequency and can work with ordinary diodes. The tradeoff is that, with the lower frequency, you'd need larger capacitors to get the same ripple. Happily, dekatrons don't draw much current at all, and are fairly forgiving of ripple, so this isn't a big deal. For reference, Mike's circuit uses 1µf capacitors, and jt's circuit uses 0.1µf units. > With component prices so cheap these days, Shouldn't be much of a headache > locating what you need. True enough, I appreciate being able to source parts quickly, easily, and cheaply. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
