I'm looking for a simple way to boost 20v to 360v with some capacitors. I was thinking maybe a charge pump controlled by a 555 timer, but to keep things as simple as possible I'd rather not use an IC. Perhaps it could be controlled by an astable multivibrator, that way I have complete knowledge of how everything in the circuit operates.
Going even more basic I really like the Marx generator, though rather than spark gaps maybe zener diodes? This was in fact essentially what I came up with when I first tried to draw the circuit before researching it.
Ideas, info and recommendations would be very welcome, thankyou.
