| {Insert description of apparatus, its component, what it is demonstrating.} Charging 10 50kV capacitors in parallel then discharging them in series to generate very high voltages, enough to splitter 6" doweling. |
This Marx Generator consists of 10, .02MFD 50kV capacitors that are charged in parallel, then discharged in series to generate a very high voltage, enough to splitter 6" doweling. The resistor is made of a Cupric Sulfate (CuSO,,4,,) solution such that we mantain a resistivity of 1MΩ to 1.5MΩ between capacitors. |
