Dickson Charge Pump
a dramatic difference in speed on the scooter motor. It is basically a voltage tripler taking 12v and turning it into 36. This shows the potential efficiency of a Dickson Charge Pump.
That’s what friends are for.
an even simpler design that will reduce component count and cost, and will increase power efficiency. We are moving towards a simple elegant solution that will exceed all the design specifications and yield a unique and highly flexible solution for breadboard power supplies and beyond.
