Requires resistors of 100 kW, 5 watts, 50 000 volts. I tried a lot of factory resistors, but none of them could withstand such tension – the bow broke over the body and nothing worked. Careful grinding gave an unexpected answer: the masters, who assembled Marx's generator at a voltage of more than 100,000 volts, used the complex liquid resistors of Marx's generator on liquid resistors, or used a lot of steps. I wanted something simpler and made resistors from wood.

He broke off on the street two flat branches of raw wood (dry current does not lead) and turned on the first branch instead of a group of resistors to the right of the condensators, the second branch instead of a group of resistors to the left of the condensators. It resulted in two branches with many conclusions across equal distances. I made the conclusions by wrapping the naked wire over the branches. As experience shows, such resistors can withstand tensions of dozens of megavolts (10 000 000 volts)
