Not that I endorse this solution, but if you do try it please
use an inherently current limited source before the voltage
doublers, a 9V battery is good for this and if you aren't using
solid state DC-DC converters, it's simple enough to generate
a sine wave.

A doorbell transformer is current limited, but at something
like 1 amp at 18 V. A bit too much power for this application
+ they also consume a watt or two at standby which isn't
very green + you don't have double isolation from the mains.

I would try double sided tape first. :)
