Is that place abandoned? The equipment looks rather old and neglected but I find it strange that they would leave it all there if it wasn't going to be used?

Surely it would have a high scrap value?

When was the place built?

@soundseeker63

it is protected only authorized personnel can enter this area.

it is built around 1967. 1:13

Get these things up and functioning somehow. Plan the trippiest, most euphoric rave in history, 24 hours straight, with the best DJ's from around the world. Then make a killing from the DVD recording of it. I'm sure even at $1,000 the crowd would still be clamoring. Then use the money to slowly restore the place.

I'm only half-kidding, but it's still a cool thought though.

@kasteman1

Very nice idea, but eccentric enough its already in function.

it seems every thing in rusia looks like its not in use for years.

well if you succeed notify me Please :)

1.2 million joules! instead of a can crusher you can make a semi truck crusher, No, something bigger I bet, anywho

@NafanyaZX come on dude, I was sarcastic! I see they use it even to test the effect of lighning on airplanes...

Unbelievable. You don't even consider the possibility of this very expensive "spark generator" having a meaning. It's obviously made to create artificial lightning. Why? So that scientists could do some research. On how the motherfukcing lightning works and how we can protect ourselves and our electronic devices from it. Or maybe even control it. Same thing with the even more astronomically expensive Large Hadrone Collider. Go read a book.

Это испытательный стенд такой?

[samoht1977]

Unbelievable. Someone spent a HELL OF A LOT OF MONEY to build what? a spark generator? well...
