Abstract: A system may include an electrostatic spray tool having a turbine generator configured to generate electrical power to electrostatically charge a spray. The spray tool also may include a controller configured to monitor the electrical power from the turbine generator and to instruct a gas supply to vary a gas flow to the turbine generator based on feedback received from one or more sensors.

Abstract: A system includes an electrostatic tool having a cascade that includes electrical components configured to convert a first voltage from an incoming alternating current into an outgoing second voltage at a direct current and a shell configured to cover the electrical components. The shell radially conforms to the electrical components.

Abstract: A voltage amplifier is provided that includes a first row and a second row each having a respective first or second plurality of capacitors arranged collinearly. First row capacitors comprise first terminals and second row capacitors comprise second terminals. The first row and second row are parallel to each other along longitudinal and lateral axes. A third row has a first plurality of diodes and a fourth row has a second plurality of diodes, each row positioned cross-wise to the first row and located above the first and second rows along the vertical axis. The first diodes are positioned parallel to each other along the longitudinal and lateral axes, and the second diodes are parallel to each other along the longitudinal and lateral axes and positioned cross-wise to and above the first plurality along the vertical axis. Diodes and capacitors are directly and physically connected using respective electrical leads.
