Maybe you guys can help me though? I am using a tiny EMCO 4kv 5ma power supply to charge a 800 joules capacitor bank to 1kv. That takes about 5 whole minutes. Is there a much faster way to charge the capacitors? Like 5-10 seconds at most? I want to be able to fire it rapidly not every 5 minutes. I was thinking about using a variac to power a microwave transformer and rectify the output to dc at about 1200 volts 250ma, or possibly take wall outlet voltage and current and multiply it and rectify it at the same time. If you have any clue what to do I’m all ears at this point
