Exploring the circuit 11/5/18

thinner the film the less voltage needed
our film is thicker, requires very high voltage

Goal of original circuit was to get voltage from audio signal

current limiting dial; in case of leak minimize shock despite high voltage

bread board used for prototyping; I need to learn how to use a bread board.

resistor
bleeder resistor: a resistor connected in parallel with the output of a high voltage power supply circuit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeder_resistor

capacitor
stores potential energy in an electrical field

analog; result is not 1 and 0 it is something in between
Need to learn about analog circuit design

I need to reverse engineer the circuit trying to figure out the purpose of the connections made.
