A voltage doubler is an electronic circuit which charges capacitors from the input voltage and switches these charges in such a way that, in the ideal case, exactly twice the voltage is produced at the output as at its input. 

Components required: Power supply, Transformer, 2 Diodes, 2 Capacitors, connecting wire etc.

 

Circuit Diagram:

Description: The circuit consists of two half-wave peak detectors. Each of the two peak detector cells operates on opposite half-cycles of the incoming waveform. Since their outputs are in series, the output is twice the peak input voltage.
