You will find below a detailled diagram of a VERY SIMPLE and CHEAP High Voltage power supply ( VS-HVPS ) for the Lifter experiments. This HV power supply is fully adjustable and able to give between +6 KV to +25 KV DC ( 0.3 mA ). With a such power supply you may conduct a lot of experiments and demonstrations with a Lifter v1.0.

The Lifter is able to have a stable hovering with only +23 KV DC and 288uA ( 6.6 Watts )

The HV output can be easily adjusted bewteen 6 to 25 KV with the halogen lamp dimmer.
Use only the first 1/3 of the cursor scale.

A 470 KOhms 5 Watts resistor is required to proect the HV output of the tripler

The car ignition coil used is a Ducellier ( ref : 2790A ) for a 12 V battery.

BE CAREFUL, USE EXTREME CAUTION !!!, this device use High Voltage, ALWAYS switch off the input and discharge the output to the ground through 10k/2W resistor before touch it. These plans are not intended for the inexperienced. User of this document should be very carefull and experienced in High-Voltage electronics to try anything out ! If you do it the risk of any results is just yours. I take no responsibility of anything that might happen.

ATTENTION !!!, Faites preuve d'une extrême prudence, Vous manipulez ici de la Haute-Tension, TOUJOURS arrêter puis déconnecter votre alimentation ou le moniteur et décharger la sortie Haute Tension à travers une résistance de 10Kohms/2W avant toute manipulation.. Les plans et les conseils présentés ici, ne sont pas destinés à des débutants. Vous devrez procéder avec soin et prudence et avoir l'habitude de manipuler de la Haute-Tension avant d'envisager une telle expérience ! Si vous décider de réaliser cette expérience, ceci est à votre propre risque et je décline toute responsabilité en ce qui concerne les éventuels dommages matériels ou physiques causés.

I shall be very glad to publish all successful Lifters replications in my web site so, don't hesitate to send me the photos, the diagrams and the videos of your experiments.
