Richard,

Hi, it's me again ;-)

I forgot to metion that one can use inductors instead of resistors, which
are easy to make. Details on my inductors can be found at:

www.madlabs.info Click the "Misc. HV" and "Marx Generators" link. I am
working on a 5 stage flyback powered model for classroom use.

Regards,

Jonathan Peakall
