Re: [volt-nuts] Bohnenberger electrometer DANGER

Here's a simplistic view that may be sufficient. Some energy (in the form of charge redistribution, which includes current flow) has to come from the capacitor, and some from the input signal, to do the work needed to push the leaf against gravity. When the input signal is removed, some of the

Re: [volt-nuts] Bohnenberger electrometer DANGER

Please be VERY VERY careful. To be honest its far safer to use CCFL drivers and rectify them with camera diodes in series and the absolute minimum capacitance for the job, shunted with a high value resistor. I have a few inverters , 10M resistor packs and diode strips here if anyone has a use
