Well the tripler is putting out 3 times the input voltage, 4 times would be near 30K. I would assume they are designed the same but the quadrupler would have 2-3 extra stages. As for design they are doing what they were designed to do as far as I can see- replace flybacks by turning horz. output voltage into high voltage- weren't they used this way originally at factory?
