Sorry may be it is a stupid question but I am a newbie. I have a circuit for building a volt multiplicator.. 1.st stage should duplicate the 1000v to 2000v and so on till the 4th or 5th step, So the last voltage in the last capacitor must be 10kv, but in the circuit it is only 400v. how should I understand that? the same thing with diodes.. the last diode is 1000v although I guess 8kv should run through the diode!!. how is this thing calculated?
@tanatechs,
Are you a student doing calculations? Is this a homework assignment?
Or are you doing circuit troubleshooting?
Is what you are asking about a
voltage multiplier?
"Voltage multipliers are AC-to-DC power conversion devices typically comprised of diodes and capacitors. Voltage multipliers produce a high potential DC voltage from a lower voltage AC source."

Furthermore, try this article in wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_multiplier
A table of reasonable ranges of input and output for voltage multipliers:
