Marx Generator Kit 10 Stage High Voltage DIY Lightning Experiment Electric Arc Educational Model Kit

Attention please:
This Marx generator is a kit which need to be assembled it by yourself.
The principle is to generate high voltage through capacitors in series. After the capacitor is fully charged, it will release electricity instantly to generate high voltage and high current. The sound is all arcing.

Features:
Assembly Instructions:
Use screws to tighten the 10mm double-hole copper column on the acrylic board.
Make the spark gap: cut the 35mm long copper wire from the wire skin in the kit, and directly solder it to the terminal with an electric soldering iron, and use needle-nose pliers to the pin at the end of the copper wire is bent into a ring; the two ends of the high-voltage resistor are bent into a ring with needle-nose pliers; the ignition gap and the high-voltage resistor are fixed on a 10mm double-hole copper column with a 15mm copper column, the first level uses two A high-power 10M ohm resistor; adjust the ignition gap: the first level gap can be about 15mm, the last level is 5mm, the gaps in the middle stages gradually become smaller, if the input voltage is less than 20KV, the gap should be reduced accordingly Small; use needle-nose pliers to bend the pins of the high-voltage capacitor into a ring; use a 15mm copper column to fix the high-voltage capacitor on the lower copper column; fix the upper cover with screws and install the discharge electrode; for durability and during transportation Medium anti-shock and anti-drop, you can use hot melt glue to reinforce the capacitor pin and the copper column connection
Instructions for Use:
The Marx generator uses a 10-20KV high-voltage DC power supply and outputs a high voltage of hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of volts. 10-stage arc 15-20cm, voltage 200000V. It is strictly forbidden to touch the Marx generator and high-voltage power supply when the power is on! After each test, use a screwdriver or other metal with an insulating handle to touch the two copper poles at the input end of the 20KV power supply at the same time, and discharge the residual electricity in the capacitor before touching the Marx generator.
Significance and Value:
This product shows the process of arc generation and disappearance, showing arc-like white light and generating high-temperature gas discharge, which is very cool. It can be used for high-voltage pulse power scientific research experiments, and also for electromagnetic teaching. It is helpful to cultivate DIY players’ manual and brain skills, understand the principle and application of arc discharge, and enhance scientific literacy
Tips:
The discharge of the Marx generator will produce relatively large electromagnetic interference. If it is powered by a switching power supply, it is easier to be damaged by interference. Therefore, it is necessary to use lithium battery packs, batteries, transformers and other power sources that are not afraid of electromagnetic interference to power zvs high-voltage power supplies. The equipment should be far away from household appliances and at least two or three meters away to avoid electromagnetic interference from arcs.
