Tesla coil stuff I have separately in my Tesla Coil Page.
One of these, hvgen.ps, is in Post-Script format.

If you can use something made to power He-Ne lasers, look in Sam Goldwasser's Giant Laser FAQ. (V. 5.70 as of 10/27/2000, approx. 5.4 meg broken into pieces generally under 425K plus approx. 227 GIF's and JPEG's.)
Another one from Sam Goldwasser using a flyback transformer.
This circuit typically uses voltages near 12 volts to maybe 24 volts. You
have to put your own primary winding on the flyback transformer, but this
is easy and lets you use almost any flyback transformer.

A newer version of Sam Goldwasser's high voltage
inverter stuff!
(Added to this site 11/3/98.)
A 12 volt fly zapper circuit can be found on Page 40 of the June 1996 issue of the magazine "Electronics Now". The fly zapper article begins on Page 39.
The ignition coil circuit is here! This uses a 555 timer IC, a power MOSFET, and an ignition coil. It works at supply voltages from about 8 to 15 volts. Updated 10/24/2000.
Snock's high voltage site! Note - some of the circuits there will probably need some tweaking to do what you want. Be prepared to do a little rytrying and possibly have blown parts until you get things adjusted. Same deal as in many other homebrew high voltage generation circuits.
Sam Barros' Site, with lots of high voltage stuff of all sorts.
