I need to build a compact transformerless high voltage supply that
will run off of 120VAC mains and produce at least 2000-4000 (AC or DC)
volts with very low current. I figure what would be best is the
"Walton-Cockroft voltage multiplier"

How many capacitors (and what type, size, ect) would I have to use for
this to work?

TIA

Roughly 60 capacitors, say 10 uF each, and 60 diodes... it sure won't
be "compact."
