Tesla Tower in abandoned woods near Moscow

High Voltage Marx and Tesla Generators Research Facility

(via LiveLeak)

The description below says that the facility has 3 Megawatt transformer cascade, and a 9 megawatt Pulsed Voltage Generator (with this generator they obtained a spark length of 150 metres). Film of this stand http://player.rutv.ru/index/iframe/video_cid/5968/time_play/6/isPlay/true/showPopUpBtn/false/showZoomBtn/true/

As the facility is really expensive to operate, it is only turned on for special occasions.

YouTube Description:

Съемка с воздуха: Катушка Тесла

На самом деле генератор Маркса принадлежащий Высоковольтному научно-исследовательский центру.
«Универсальный комплекс для испытания и исследования объектов техники на стойкость к воздействию импульсных электромагнитных полей естественного и искусственного происхождения». Молний, короче говоря.

Основа комплекса это:
Каскад трансформаторов на 3 миллиона вольт с коммутационной приставкой.
Генератор импульсных напряжений (ГИН) 9 миллионов вольт (С помощью этого генератора получен искровой разряд длиной 150 метров)

Фильм об этом стенде: http://player.rutv.ru/index/iframe/video_cid/5968/time_play/6/isPlay/true/showPopUpBtn/false/showZoomBtn/true/

According to http://rt.com/news/170704-tesla-tower-lightning-russia/

The secret, open-air, high-voltage testing device was constructed in the late 1970s for testing insulators to protect vehicles, aircrafts and electronic equipment against lightning.

why was it built?

Why would somebody abandon the woods like that? Those poor trees must be so lonely.
