I know this isn't about TC's but I figured I'd ask anyway. 
I'm thinking about building a marx generator. I was thinking about using an 
OBIT(or what ever 10Kv transformer I can find), using a cascade to multiply 
that to 40Kv. Then feed that into a six stage Marx which uses coils instead 
of normal resistors. I'm planning on making two long 12" coils and scraping a 
bit of the enamal off every two inches to solder on the cap leads. I think 
I'll use 1" wide PVC forms and 22gauge magnet wire. For one I'm worried that 
the coils won't have as much impendance(I think thats the right word) as will 
be 
needed(I could use thinner wire its just that I have a lot of 22 already on 
hand). Another concern I have is that the 10KVDC rated caps used in the 
multiplier stage will over volt(I just want to know if two caps in series 
will be needed). I have a schematic that I drew here:

Note that I now plan on using two 6000v diodes in series for each diode in 
the multiplier part of the schematic.
