With the full wave circuit Rich shows, you might expect about 5.6kv or less, at 20ma. Just a guess of course. Doing the math....1.414 X 4.5 = 6.36kv ideal, no load and filtered. This ideal value will drop under load.

The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment
