@ omegalabs Thanks for the video, I'll have to find out the best uH inductor levels for fast enough charging while still providing protection to the capacitors. What was the power supply wattage on your marx generator?
The supply was a 100/35.000V voltage transformer with a variac, and a 36kV half wave rectifier (3x microwave diode).

I made one several years ago, with 500uH inductors. Never calculated the output repetition, probably it's around 10-15Hz. I think it's possible to make a 1kHz one, but it needs proper calculations, and building. Video
that's a very small input power and gaps have no problem to deionize between two bangs. crank it up to see what happens!

The problem with my setup was that the spark gaps shortened the voltage transformer every time they fired, and this type of transformer doesn't contain a flux shunt, so it was like almost a short circuit for it.
