Marx generator at the "Deutsches Museum" in Munich

This 12 stage marx generator outputs 1.2MV pulses, which are used in the museum to demonstrate lightning strikes to a model house. Photos will follow. This schematic was taken from Friedrich Heilbronner: Erweiterte Versuchsmöglichkeiten in der Hochspannungsanlage, Deutsches Museum Abhandlungen und Berichte, 48. Jahrgang 1980, Heft 2, S. 39. See also the museums Webpage (in German), especially the HV demonstrations.
