Subject: Resistors VS inductors for Marx

Hi All,

Why do people always use resistors in Marx generators? I whipped up some
inductors once and they worked fine. I didn't try the same generator with
resitors, but the output was good. Is there some reason that resistors are
better, especially considering how dirt cheap and easy to make inductors
are?
