I have theoretical experience but not any hands on. I have worked with high voltage power supplies but not with AC mains. My actual goal is to take a neon sign transformer which gives me 9500 V and put it through my multiplier to get close to 40,000 V dc to power a vacuum tube.

If you google voltage multiplier circuit that is the circuit that comes up. You can check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_multiplier The equation I don't remember what source but it was from a google search also. Do you have any suggestions if I am inputting ac to multiply...

I have made a 3 stage voltage multiplier. My input is from the outlet so 120 V ac. I measure my output from the first and last capacitors of the bottom row as shown in the image. The output I am getting is 120 V dc. From the equation Vout(dc) = Vin(ac)*sqrt(2)*number of stages. With this...

I am going to be graduating with a BS in nuclear engineering specialized in radiological health. What are some possible jobs options that are available with good entry level pay?

Also it says for here in Texas that board certification is not required, I'm guessing that is to obtain a license.

I live in Texas so it is necessary to be licensed, could you then find a job if you are licensed(if the state requires it) but not board certified? If so would you still need to do residency or just start working after obtaining degree?

Thanks for your post. Also do you know what are the chances of getting into a residency program with a MS compared to someone who has a PhD. I have read, don't know if it true, that more residency programs are accepting(or prefer) more PhD students than MS. Although I have seen that MS is...

I am at an ABET accredited school studying Radiological Health Engineering(Nuclear) and I was thinking of applying to grad school for a MS in Medical Physics. I have read that in 2014 to become certified you will have had to complete residency and getting into those CAMPEP programs is VERY...
