its size is 36x42x35 m, rated voltage of two outer high-voltage
bushings is 1MV. inside there`re two more marx gens - 0.75MV and
4.8MV, but i had no time to take their pictures :-(
maybe next time :-D

it depends from what to compare with - we have here a particle
accelerator - the second or the third by size in europe, comparing
with it this marx is just a toy %-) but i can`t be allowed there even
without a camera, LOL :-)))

it`s a pity i didn`t manage to show the scale of those "tiny sgaps" -
they are very impressive indeed %-) as for the marx - it`s height is
28m, and the diameter can be estimated from the pictures.

i was asking that question too, but i`ve forgot the answer already %-)
i`ll try to ask one more  time. its base is concrete - everything that
is lower the 1-st stage.
