Abstract :
The nested high-voltage generator (NHVG) is a new type of accelerator based on the principle of the Faraday cage. It consists of a number of individual high-voltage sections which are placed inside of the adjacent accelerator section, or nested one inside the other. Electronics internal to each of the NHVG states sets the voltage between the inner and outer Faraday cages to some voltage V. By building N stages and placing them one inside the other, one can produce a DC voltage N*V. The advantages of this type of accelerator are described along with the results of work with two small NHVG accelerators.<>
