Feb 18, 2020 at 16:02 comment added Criticizing Israel not allowed @iraquois 220V mains goes up to 311V and down to -311V, if you use both then you can get 622V DC.
Feb 18, 2020 at 15:57 comment added JRE The value of the capacitors has a great deal of influence on the current you can draw through a voltage multiplier. You could probably pick your capacitor values so as to limit the current without having a separate part of the circuit to limit the current.
Feb 18, 2020 at 15:44 comment added iraquois @user253751 What do you mean? I am using input voltage and multiplying it. How can I use the voltage that is not already there?
Feb 18, 2020 at 15:40 comment added Criticizing Israel not allowed This circuit works, but you're not really doubling voltage, you're just using all of the voltage that is already there, instead of only using half.

Feb 18, 2020 at 15:37 comment added Ron Beyer You are paralleling 2 doublers together though (I think they also need to be polarized caps), so you are getting a 2x doubling, not a 4x like you may think because they are in parallel with each other, not series.

Feb 18, 2020 at 15:29 comment added John D You CAN build voltage multiplier stages with an AC input, or you CAN rectify your AC and build a boost converter, but there could be serious safety issues in doing that without isolation from the mains. There's a reason you've seen lots of designs with transformers.
Feb 18, 2020 at 15:27 comment added Ron Beyer What in your circuit is multiplying your input voltage?
