This is my voltage doubler:
I don't know much about this field. It just came from my imagination.
But, in practice, can this circuit works?
Whatever it's -25v/0v/+25v or 0v/25v/50v.

Don't build and test it unless you have lots of spare diodes.
In other words, it won't work.
Follow the current path.

Sigh...
Trace out your diodes - there are a pair of 2-diode short circuits across the AC input, in opposite directions. All you are doing is doubling the amount of blue smoke and brown smell.
Oops - Sofaspud got there first

That works. See how each half-cycle charges a capacitor to the secondary voltage? Net result is 2Vin across both caps.
How about this?
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
