6 Level Marx Generator Cool Artificial Lightning High Voltage Arc Student Experiment DIY Device

Feature
It is recommended to use a lithium battery pack, battery or transformer to supply power. Lithium battery is recommended for 6S, 22.2V. The power supply scheme using the transformer is shown in the figure below. The transformer can be used with 15-24V, it is recommended to use about 18V50W. The rectifier bridge can be used with a current of more than 6A. There are flat bridges as shown in the figure, and there are also squares. You can also use a diode to build one yourself. The filter capacitor voltage is 35V or more, and the capacity is 2200uF or more. If the capacity is insufficient, multiple parallel connections can be used.
The base is a 5mm acrylic plate, the resistor is a specially-designed high-voltage glass glaze resistor, and the capacitor is a high-voltage capacitor of 30KV2000pF or higher. Because the capacitor has high withstand voltage, large capacity, and is not easy to break down, the arc generated is also very thick, not a general small capacitor. Comparable. Level 6 arc 8-10 cm.
Note
Do not touch the Marx generator and high voltage power supply while the power is on!
At the end of each test, use a screwdriver or other metal with an insulating handle to simultaneously contact the two copper posts on the 20KV power input terminal, and drain the remaining power in the capacitor to touch the Marx generator.
