[Amps] Re: neon tranny & HV diodes

[Gary Smith]

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.
