Continuing on with our high-voltage theme, today we have a page describing
Marx generators by [Grenadier]. Marx generators are devices that produce pulses of very high voltage with fast rise times. For most of us, that means that they can make neat sparks. For the more serious types out there, that also means that they are great for driving some high-powered lasers, simulating lightning strikes, and even igniting the conventional explosives surrounding the core of a nuclear weapon! His page includes a video of his Marx generator producing some pretty sparks for those of us who aren’t so serious.
We have featured several of [Grenadier's]
projects in the past. This one doesn’t deviate from his normal style of taking a subject and clearly describing it with lots of well-taken pictures.
Recently, he has been working on improving one of his projects that deviates from what he normally does. He is calling it
“The Junkbox”. The Junkbox is something like a free online swap meet where you can sell your electronic parts.
