Thanks for your piece of advise. I agree with you that the wood is not the best idea at those voltages but I haven't got another material to do it (not enough).
I used polyethelene - it is rather whitish-transperant. I wish i used polypropelene, which is smoother and clean. I wish u gd luck. Well let the body of ur marx generator be insulated as much as possible! I regreted that i used wood i painted.
I've been making a small marx generator with 16 stages. Here is not easy to get high voltage capacitors or resistors so I decided to make de caps and replace the resistors by coils of 60mH of inductance. The polipropilene capacitors has a value of around 2,5nF@15KV.
Con las bobinas el miltiplicador me ha funcionado muy bien y creo que es mucho más barato que comprar resistores de película metálica de alto valor, aunque lleva bastante más tiempo hacerlo.

Sorry," polipropileno" in english is polypropylene.

¡Great job!

Well the value of the homemade capacitors is around 7nF. There are 20 of them!

What's the value of the caps?

Excellent generator! Those sparks are amazingly big.
I can't wait to built my own.
