zeno,

Your rough number seem in the ballpark to me. I'd be surprised if someone told me horizontal output transformers
are driven at 10 watts or a thousand watts.

Don't worry about measurement stuff I'm perfectly happy with HV as long as it's low power. I've been messing with
HV AC and DC for a number of years and have remained shock free.

miniman82,

All the globe power supplies I have seen (about seven so far) have been some sort of oscillator driving MOSFET(s)
which directly drive a HV step up transformer, usually an un-gapped flyback style. Cascade multiplier put out DC,
not useful for this stuff.

benmann94,

I'll check out Heyboer. I'm guessing they do coils?

The same comment on the Cockcraft-Walton, DC is no good for driving a capacitively coupled plasma globe.

Cheers.
