Wow!!!!!!

Those pictures were great. I can't get over how big everything is in that damn place, like the "House of 4800kV Of Fun" that towers over the 5 storey building next to it. The Marx bank is amazing, I thought it looked pretty big to start with, then when I saw the ladders inside, and Dmitry's feet in the frame, I got a sense of the scale of it. It must be absolutely colossal.

I always wondered what the big cylinder that houses the Marx is made of. From the pictures, it looks like specially made ceramic bricks that fit together into a giant insulator. It all kind of puts our little HV playthings into perspective :-/
