Abstract

A new and unusual design for an electrostatic high voltage generator is introduced. The prototype device built by the author can generate a voltage up to approximately 180 kV; yet, its physical size is only a fraction of the size of a comparable Van de Graaff generator. In recent years there has been increasing demand for high voltage generators that are also very compact and lightweight. The new design introduced here fulfills that requirement.
