Where to buy an x-ray power supply?

[bygolly]

I am currently powering my fusor with a 30000V 10mA power supply. I want to upgrade to something with much more current. From what I have read, the best power supply is from an x-ray machine. Where can I find one of these power supplies? There haven't been any on ebay in the past month.

That one will do it:

Ebay - 200KV 400KVA High Voltage tesla Power Supply Tank - Item number: 270313580393

But seriously, there's plenty of stuff under "high voltage power supplies".
What you'll need is higher voltage rather than current.

Check out eBay # 250360438631

60 kV, 100 mA ought to do it for any fusor application. Appears to have floating outputs. A bit pricey at $750 plus shipping, but includes a control console. You'd have to check if it is single phase or three phase input, and see what the shipping would be from Milton-Freewater, OR.

No financial interest in said item.

Not sure I should post this but I was at an equipment auction last week where a Siefert 160KV complete non destructive X-ray machine didnt get sold! no bids.. £10 could have got it. I just dont have the space for such a monster!

I just noticed this one surfing ebay earlier today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Used-125KV-High-X-r ... 7C294%3A50

Looks like a decent deal and I doubt it'll get overly expensive. I might put a bid in at some point, looks like there are 2 avaliable too.

ah, thats only a oil immerged hv transformer. it has 11cm lengh, Im afraid its only 30kv at very most, not 125kv transformer.

zhgreader,
That's an American measuring tape, so it's 11 inches, and closer to 30cm.

ah,
thank you very much, otherwise I will make a mistake.
They wind two windings, it might be a push and pull structure for rectifier.
