The apparatus you have been describing was surely a great achievement and it's a pity it no longer exists.

Hey, it does still exist! From what I heard, there were two high voltage test sites and they both had outdoor Marx banks big enough to do the Motherland proud ;-)


The pictures on hot-streamer.com are from the site in St. Petersburg which was demolished. The other Marx bank in Siberia, which is the one that produced the giant record-breaking arc described in Bazelyan and Raizer, is still working.
