Wiring circuit

The hobby schema below uses an unusual method to generate about 12,000 volts with about 5uA of current. Two SCRs form two pulse generator diagram. The two SCRs discharge a 0.047uF a 400v capacitor through a xenon lamp trigger coil at 120 times a second.

The high voltage pulses produced at the secondary of the trigger coil are rectified using two 6KV damper diodes. The voltage doubler schema at the secondary of the trigger coil charges up two high voltage disc capacitors up to about 12KV. Although this schema can’t produce a lot of current be very careful with it. A 12KV spark can jump about 0.75 of an inch so the electronic schema needs to be carefully wired with lots of space between components.
