Very wrong filename

A current multiplier is actually a voltage divider. That is, it would produce about 14-15 volts DC at 8x the amperage from 115-125 volts AC if the conversion ratio and output type was the same. In theory to do this, you just charge the capacitors (or battery cells) in series then discharge in parallel. In practice, this would likely be done with switches rather than diodes such as how (noninductive, charge pump) switching-mode power supplies work. This is not to be confused with explosive flux compressors which also increase current but use a very different method and usually only work one time (exception would possibly work on rails?). 71.196.246.113 10:50, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
