Just a very simple marx generator i have made in 20 minuts.

Power source = 9V battery, 555 timer + mosfet running a ordinary 9V transformers, produces about 220V, a voltage multiplier (1N4007 + 1nF 500V capacitors) multiplies it 14 times, wich gives about 3 - 4 kV. Then a 20 MOhm resistor powers the generator.

Generator itself = 5 x 1nF, 4kV capacitor + 8 x 1 MOhm resistors
The resistors are made from 3 0.5W 330 KOhm resistors.

Spark lenght 13 mm - its much louder then it appears on the video. Perhaps 15 - 20 kV The buzz comes from the 555 circuit and the transformer.

Just a demonstration :)
Hope you like it

  • kool

  • this generates power?

  • @piepicles In the shop , may bee ?

    ¯\(°_o)/¯

  • that is emmense, all from just one nine volt :)

  • where did you get the capacitors

  • how do you make a marx generator????

  • charge the capacitor in parallel by only single voltage source

    and discharge it in series so voltage of all the capacitor are add

    its amazing !!!!!!!!!

    nice work

    can u tell me the procedure to make it ?

  • looks like a mix between a cockcroft generator and a marx generator
