@blackmesa25 thanks . they are 6KV connected 3 in series for 18KV. This is not my latest setup, see my other video with the latest Marx generator

Why do you need the resistors?

What would happen if you didn't use them?

Would that melt the wires?

[radumotisan]

@kmncztms the resistors are used to charge the capacitors

All the resistors look the same value to me, Am I wrong?, It looks like 10 Ohms...please tell me what is the value!

[radumotisan]

@0Sebek0 they are all 1MOhm (2W)

[radumotisan]

@0Sebek0 BTW, I've upgraded this to a twin tower marx generator, for more than 200,000Volts see the link in video description.

see my other , bigger Marx generator for more than 20cm sparks! (~ 200 000 volts )

Hy! Where do you live?

I'm from Bucharest. Perhaps we should create a group of romanian High voltage passionates.
