Hello, can someone help with converting a schematic from 230v to 110v?

I came across a schematic for a bug zapper online. I'm interested in
building the device but need help converting the components to 110v.

Can someone identify appropriate resistors, capacitors and diodes?

The schematic is available online at: http://webspace.webring.com/people/bt/tjaco/bugzap/zapper.html

Thanks in advance.

- Michael

Simply double the number of stages in the multiplier (currently made up
of C1-C6 and D1-D6) and take the output from the end of the modified
multiplier.

And don't kill yourself!

What's the name of that sort of multiplier chain? I forget.

Just buy an old neon transformer ;-)

Auto-transformer (a 230V transformer with a 110 V tap).
You could also use 2 transformers, say a 100 to 12 transformer connected to a 12 to 230 transformer.
Is not this thing dangerous for humans too?
Better have it in an isolated cage with a light to attract the bugs.
