in the first schematic on the page link i at the botom of the page the 555 timere just acts as a multivibrator right and what dose the X100 cap/diode mean at the end of the diode multipliers basicikly this circit runs the power from the batery threw the 555 as a multivibrator to break the curent up so it can pas therew the transformer and then is multiplied 10 times by the diode multipliers just a nother quick questinon i do resisters lower curent and voltage or just curent thanks for the help
here is the link it is the first schematic http://www.personalarms.com/schematics.htm
