The Cockcroft-Walton generator is a type of voltage multiplier circuit that converts low AC or DC voltages into higher DC voltages. It achieves this by using a series of capacitors and diodes arranged in a ladder-like configuration. The device is named after its inventors, John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, who used it in the 1930s for particle acceleration experiments.
