Happy holidays everyone!
I'm searching how to produce high voltage, high current DC electricity to be used for statically charging a giant electroscope. The explanation why is very elaborate, so to put it simply, I need to energize a giant electroscope.
I have limited electrical engineering education, but a thorough explanation would be appreciated.
Perhaps using a Telsa coil to generate high voltage AC current and then rectify the current. Evidently this is not an option because rectifying circuits can not handle such extreme voltages.
Any Ideas?
