How do I accurately recreate the ER effect (using electro-rheological fluid)?
I am working on a project that makes use of the unique properties of electro-rheological fluid (ERF), a substance that changes viscosity when an electric field is applied:
For this project, I want to ...

Can ML240 polyimide magnet wire handle 50kV when used in inductors?
I have built ~2mH inductors wired on air core plastic bobbins from AWG26 ML240 polyimide magnet wire and tested them at ~25kV. They seem to work fine without shorting through the polyimide insulation....

Would this Falstad simulation of a 50 kV flyback system work in real life?
I am trying to make a 10 kV 10 kHz generator by modifying this circuit:
I am thinking of connecting 220 V DC at the output of the MOSFET and using a transformer with 1:50 ratio:
Falstad simulation.

Voltage doubler using 555 timer
I found this circuit, a voltage doubler with 555.
The duty cycle of the 555 is 50%.
Does changing the duty cycle of the 555 timer affect the voltage output like in boost converter? Or does it not ...
