Novel High Voltage Power Supply for X-Ray Sources Implementation

Some months ago I have verified an older design of a High Voltage Power Supply for
an industrial Micro Power X-Ray Source. The reasons for this verification were increasing from time to time problems with purchasing of the main special low and high voltage electronic components.

Inspired by this, I have tried to develop a novel, designed especially for industrial X-Ray sources implementations High Voltage Power Supply that can be assembled with a great variety of not expensive, easy to purchase conventional and high voltage components. By the other side, this novel “economical” High Voltage Power Supply should have the very good electrical performances.

So, I have made a primary design of this novel high voltage power supply, especially prepared for verification by the way of spice simulation. The results of spice simulations of some variations of this power supply seem to be very good and fully affirm its advantages.

My Novel High Voltage Power Supply is a real, high effectivity (over 90%) “Energy Pump”.
It consists of a novel dc/pulses converter and a conventional voltage multiplier.
The dc/pulses converter can work with a great variety of cheap controllers and low cost power devices. The voltage multiplier can be assembled with low cost ceramic high voltage capacitors and very low cost high voltage rectifiers.
The power supply can produce as well positive as negative output voltages.
I have simulated and tested three variations of this power supply:

1) Very low power with the output voltage of 60 kV and output current up to 150µA
2) Version with the output voltage of 60 kV and output current up to 2mA
3) Version with the output voltage of 100 kV and output current up to 1mA

Currently I m testing a 130kV/1mA version.

All versions has the following advantages:

1) Very wide input voltages range, over +/- 30% (for instance 20 – 36 V), allowing the powering of high voltage devices directly via the simple transformer+rectifier+capacitor
connection (no high stable DC-Power Supply required).
Also a battery powering is very easy.
2) High, over 90% effectivity
3) Stability better as +/- 1%
4) The practical implementation requires not critical and not expensive, easy to purchase components.

Has anybody an interest in a practical implementation of this Novel High Voltage Power Supply ?

Nice "not expensive, easy to purchase conventional and high voltage components" sounds like fun. I've always wanted to build a tesla coil, this setup would work great. MORE POWER!!!

Is it just me or does anyone else find this mean?

Telling us he has a great way of doing something and then giving us very little information as to how!

Give us more!

You can't find the knowledge on the Street(y). What do yo want to receive (more) precisely ?

At the moment it sounds like you're trying to sell something. You've got this 'black box' object that can do x, y and z but you haven't told us anything about how it does what it does.

A bit more detail would be good.

Who was your teacher (iif anybody) ? Robert

I don't see how that would be relevant. I've had many teachers over the course of my life. Are you suggesting I list just those who taught me about electricity or those who made me curious? If it's the latter it could be a very long list.

Actually electricity is one of the things they don't teach in school much, I wish they would of when I was in school. I learned it all on my own, pretty much.

Trial and Error, and risk of death.
