2019 Marx Generator V1

At the end of 2019, I built a real Musk generator. I purchased ready-made film capacitors online, which offered higher voltage resistance, significantly improved capacitance, and enhanced stability. Additionally, I added resistors between each capacitor stage to balance the voltage and carefully adjusted the distance between the secondary discharge points. In the end, I successfully generated an arc exceeding 12 cm, which looked stunning in long-exposure photos. Looking back, I do have one regret—I should have opted for a higher input voltage.
