- What I was taught was to build a DC doubler one usually took a 555 and produced
- a high freq output and then used a voltage doubler (diodes and caps) to double
- it and then a smoothing circuit to change back to DC. Seems like a lot of work
- to me. Perhaps there is a commercial product. Or alternatively how 'bout
- providing the two voltages from the AC source (if it has one)
