OK, I have a double sided tripler working, (although low volts, 5Vac in 15vdc out) I don't get all the ripple? Here are the wave forms of each side independent and loaded. The second picture is with the diode on the right side connected and all the load moved to the upper side and center tap/NEG. The voltage does go up, i.e. it will supply more current. I thought the ripple would be reduced, it is actually increased. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Mikek
P.S, guys remember, I'm the fishmonger, I'm doing the best I can with what knowledge I have. I don't want to take the time to develop a high frequency supply, and I probably don't have the ability. John, "There are *so* many ways to make a simple thing hard." I don't know what you are addressing, Is it the double sided tripler? I may not need it, but I'm close on getting the 12kV. Or is it the 12MΩ load requiring a higher input voltage? After experiments, we may be able to reduce this to one vessel, but for now we want 4 vessels run at 4 increasing voltages.
