"how many chargers could I put together?" How strong are you ? :-) The only limit on how many chargers is $$ and available power. How long does it take to charge ? What voltage ?

0Stuffsesiceng Answer 7 years ago ReplyUpvoteWow, I just happened to have 2 1n4004`s on my desk. They are the only diodes I have.
0DELETED_DELETED_kruser495 8 years ago ReplyUpvoteyes, ive done it before, i had 5 in parallel and about 30 caps. its dangerous, i accidentally shorted it blew up in my face, my ears were ringing for 3 hours. be careful, im guessing your making a coil gun.

You need a 400V 1A diode 1N4004 or 1N4005 or 1N4006. A
