Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A HIGH VOLTAGE GENERATING APPARATUS COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION: A SOURCE OF UNIDIRECTIONAL CURRENT; A RESONANT CIRCUIT INCLUDING A RESISTOR, A CAPACITOR AND AN INDUCTOR CONNECTED IN SERIES, SAID CIRCUIT HAVING A DAMPED RESONANCE FREQUENCY WITH A GIVEN ONE HALF CYCLE PERIOD AND A DOUBLE POLE DOUBLE THROW MEANS FOR CONNECTING SAID SOURCE OF UNDIRECTIONAL CURRENT FIRST ACROSS SAID CIRCUIT TO DIRECT CURRENT IN SAID CIRCUIT IN ONE DIRECTION FOR SAID GIVEN PERIOD AND THEN AFTER AN ARBITARY TIME INTERVAL ACROSS SAID CIRCUIT TO DIRECT CURRENT IN SAID CIRCUIT IN A DIRECTION OPPOSITE TO SAID ONE DIRECTION FOR SAID GIVEN PERIOD WHEREBY HIGH VOLTAGE CAN BE BUILT UP ACROSS THE CAPACITOR IN SAID CIRCUIT IN DISCRETE STEPS EACH TIME THE CURRENT IN SAID CIRCUIT IS REVERSED, ULTIMATELY REACHING A LIMITING VALUE WHICH IS GREATER THAN THE VOLTAGE OF THE UNIDIRECTIONAL CURRENT SOURCE BY A LARGE FACTOR.
