freq - frequency in Hz 3.70 - excitation from one battery (3.7V) 7.40 - excitation from two batteries in series (7.40V) In no case the current from excitation is allowed to go above 2A. In no experiment the current is observed to be above 1.5A. The results in tables are output voltages measured at 1000:1 HV probe, hence the output voltage is given in kV. Push-pull configuration with two TIP122 NPN transistor with 330 Ohms resistor in base is used. Single cascade is used with 30 capacitors and 60 (30x two-in-series) diodes 1N4007. Power supplied by RIGOL DP832 at frequency for max output DC voltage is measured, too.
