Thank you all for the replies to my question on reading the HV voltage using my
multimeter. For accuracy's sake & future use I think the suggestion of
obtaining a HV
probe would be the best choice.
I truly appreciate the words of advice in regards to high voltage & the use of
the neon
transformer to supply voltage for this electrostatic filter experiment. My
plans are to
make a fairly large enclosure for the elements and have a small computer fan to
help
move the air. I'm going to make the collector of 1/2" copper pipe and use
copper
"T's" & elbows to make it a large surface area collector & easy to remove as a
unit &
wash. All will be supported by ceramic stand-offs & a safety interlock will be
installed
for extra safety.
It's funny but nowhere in my internet search did I find the plans to make an
electrostatic filter. It'll be interesting discovering the answer for myself.
Thanks again to all who replied.
