Despite the fact that the Soviet Union collapsed in the former Soviet space and then find and recall some mysterious relic of the era, full of great achievements and discoveries. One of them is the Tesla Tower, which are in the Moscow region.
In the Soviet Union, a lot of interesting things have been built, which, unfortunately, most of them could not survive its collapse. A significant portion of such objects awaited closure, neglect, decline and, as the apotheosis - the fate of the miserable ruins, looted looters. For example, in the Moscow region forests can be found here such interesting object, which at one time was one of the most powerful generator of high-voltage electrical pulses. This setting is the realization of the Marx generator (Marx Generator).
What does she do? Such a station may generate pulses with a voltage of 6 megavolts, and establish electrical discharges, flash length reaches 200 meters. This particular generator was built in the 70s of the last century. It is intended to test the strength of the insulation and protection of aircraft against lightning. It is also used to perform in the field of weapons, operating on the principle of using electromagnetic pulses studies.
Specifically, this generator is capable of generating high voltage pulses of duration 100 microseconds. It seems that it is a little, just a moment, but in that time period, instantaneous pulse power exceeds the power production of all domestic plants (including nuclear!).
Currently the generator is under the auspices of the Research Center for high voltage of the VI All-Russian Electrotechnical Institute Lenin (FSUE VEI). Although it is still in working condition by the installer is extremely rare. The reason is high cost of such experiments. Therefore most of their time just a unique Soviet plant rusts and falls into decay.
According to recent data, use the generator can be anyone. That's just for that he will first have to pay the full costs of electricity. Thus the Institute is hoping to attract potential customers and to procure funds for the maintenance and upgrade of the facility.
Electricity is a very interesting thing. It is therefore worth knowing about 15 little-known facts about Nikola Tesla - scientist, who was ahead of time and I made a lot of interesting things.
