The Marx generator, used in scientific research as a high-voltage pulse power source for experiments, can also be used for electromagnetic teaching. Use 10-20KV high voltage DC power supply, output more than ten million volts.

The base is 5mm acrylic board, the resistance is a specially-made high-voltage glass glaze resistor, and the capacitor is a high-voltage capacitor of 30KV2000pF or more. Because the capacitor has high voltage resistance and large capacity, it is not easy to breakdown, and the arc generated is also very thick, and it is not an ordinary small capacitor. Comparable. Level 6 arc 8-10 cm, level 10 15-18 cm, up to 20 cm, 20 arcs over 30 cm.

Discharge of the Marx generator will produce relatively large electromagnetic interference, if the power supply with switching power supply is more easily damaged by interference, so use lithium battery packs, batteries, transformers, etc. are not afraid of electromagnetic interference power supply to zvs high voltage power supply. The equipment should be as far away as possible from other household appliances, and keep a distance of at least 2-3 meters to avoid electromagnetic interference from the arc.

【Note】 It is forbidden to touch the Marx generator and high voltage power supply under power-on condition!

After each test, use a screwdriver or other metal with insulated handles to simultaneously touch the two copper posts at the input of the 20KV power supply and let go of the residual charge in the capacitors before touching the Marx generator.
