Abstract
A light weight, high voltage supply for Geiger counters is described. Its total weight, including batteries to operate it for approximately 6 hours, is 650 grams. The power input including the rectifying tube is 0.3 watt. The output can be varied from several hundred to about 2000 volts, and varies linearly with the voltage of the supply battery. Random fluctuations are of the order of 1 percent. A simple circuit for regulating the voltage is also given.Keywords
