How can I charge my capacitor bank without a 330v DC power supply?

AI Thread Summary
Charging a capacitor bank of 20x 330v 180uF capacitors without a 330v DC power supply poses significant safety risks. Attempting to charge the capacitors with a lower voltage supply, such as 13.7v, results in inadequate voltage, only reaching 13.7v. Using another capacitor for charging is not recommended due to safety concerns and the potential for dangerous voltage levels. The discussion highlights the importance of having the proper experience and knowledge when working with high-voltage systems. It is crucial to seek professional guidance or use appropriate equipment to ensure safety.

I have a capacitor bank (20x 330v 180uF capacitors in parallel). But i don't have 330v DC power supply to charge the capacitors to 330 volts. I tried using a 13.7v supply from an AC adapter, but the capacitors got charged only to 13.7v. What should i do for this?Should i use another capacitor for charging?if so,how?

We closed your other thread for safety reasons when it was five 180uF capacitors and 250 volts - and here it is twenty capacitors and 330 volts. You do not have the experience and knowledge needed to do this safely.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
