[TCML] OT dc power supply, thanks

[Andrew Robinson <teslamad@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone for your replies. Some good ideas out there. Van de 
graff might be fun. I should have initially stressed that the power 
supply will be operated in a controlled environment by one of the 
electrical engineering professors. The kids will only be building their 
models to be tested by and demonstrated by the professor at the end. 
Since I work at the school in the IT dept, i'll see if I can get my 
hands on some of our old reclimated monitors. I know i have a closet 
full of them just waiting to go to surplus. Someone mentioned using a 
555 timer to drive a transistor. I might have to get together with the 
EE prof to make this happen. Last time I tried working with 555 timers, 
the end results were rather disappointing. Can someone recommend a 
circuit diagram and the required output voltage for the lifter? Sounds 
more complex than I initially anticipated. Thanks again for the quick 
off topic help.

Regards,
Andrew Robinson
