Abstract

A diode-capacitor multiplier circuit usable with an electro-static spray gun has two different values of capacitors. By changing the ratio of the number of larger size capacitors to the number of smaller size capacitors, the amount of energy stored in the multiplier circuit may be increased or decreased changing the probability of ignition, and also the quality of the coating received by the subject article.
