I think this might be the first live build I've done from the bench.
It's a high voltage step up circuit designed to create a high positive voltage on a panel to try and encourage dust charged by a negative ion generator to settle out on the panel instead of on walls and furnishings.
If you like the live videos there's a dedicated channel for live streams called BigCliveLive:-

The components used were 10 100nF X2 suppression capacitors, 10 1N4007 1A 1kV diodes and two 1 Megohm half watt resistors.
The diodes and capacitors are used to make a simple Cockroft Walton voltage multiplier that steps the voltage up to about 3kV, and the two resistors chosen partly for their resistance and partly for their higher voltage rating provide safety current limiting and separation from the mains supply. The resistor voltage doesn't have to be 3kV as that voltage will not normally be seen across them.
The case is a bit of 1.5" (37mm) plastic drain pipe with either drainage end caps or 3D printed caps with holes for the cable gland and output banana socket.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of KZbin's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
