Patent ID: 7903432

Claim:
A power generation system comprising: a power source; a transformer module for converting a low voltage from the power source into a higher voltage, the transformer module comprising a number N of transformer units, each transformer unit comprising at least one transformer, and each transformer comprising a magnetic core, a primary winding, and a secondary winding, wherein primary windings of the transformers in the transformer module are electrically coupled in parallel to the power source, secondary windings of the transformers of each transformer unit comprise a pair of output terminals, and N is equal to or greater than two; and a voltage-multiplier module for amplifying higher voltage from the transformer module, the voltage-multiplier module comprising the number N of multipliers, each multiplier comprising a positive and a negative output terminal, each multiplier comprising a positive multiplier part and a negative multiplier part, the positive and negative multiplier parts each comprising a positive and a negative input terminal, wherein positive and negative input terminals of the positive and negative multiplier parts of each multiplier are electrically coupled to the positive and negative output terminals of a corresponding transformer unit in parallel, and positive and negative output terminals of the multipliers are connected in series.
