Despite the fact that the Soviet Union collapsed, on the territory of the post-Soviet space every now and then they find and remember some mysterious relic of an era full of great achievements and discoveries. One of them is the Tesla towers, which are located in the Moscow region.
Unique complex
Many interesting things were built in the Soviet Union, which, unfortunately, for the most part could not survive its collapse. A significant part of such objects was waiting for the closure, desolation, decline and, as an apotheosis, the fate of the pitiful ruins plundered by marauders. So, in the forests of the Moscow region, you can find such an interesting object, which at one time was one of the most powerful generators of high-voltage electrical impulses. This setup is an implementation of the Marx Generator.
It was a great idea
What does she do? Such a station can generate pulses with a voltage of 6 megavolts, as well as create electrical discharges, the flash length of which reaches 200 meters. This particular generator was built in the 70s of the last century. It is intended for testing the strength of insulation and protection of aircraft from lightning. It was also used to conduct research on weapons that use electromagnetic pulses.
Big thing
This particular generator is capable of generating 100 microsecond high voltage pulses. It seems that this is a little, just a moment, however, during this period of time, the instantaneous power of the pulse exceeds the output power of all domestic power plants (together with nuclear power plants!).
At the moment, the generator is under the patronage of the High Voltage Research Center of the All-Russian Electrotechnical Institute named after V. I. Lenin (FGUP VEI). Although it is still in working order, it is extremely rare to start the installation. This is explained by the high cost of such experiments. Therefore, most of its time, the unique Soviet installation simply rusts and decays.
According to the latest data, anyone can use the generator. But for this he will first have to pay the full cost of electricity. Thus, the institute hopes to attract potential customers and raise funds for the maintenance and reconstruction of the facility.

What is the meaning of the "pyramids" in Russian forests?
Probably, many lovers of walks in the forest met on their way small figures in the form of pyramids with a truncated top and covered with moss. Although there are other variations, this is the most common. And, naturally, the question arose, what kind of constructions were they and how did they end up here?
Forests Regulate Climate and Produce Wind - Biotic Pump Theory
Anastasia Makarieva, a nuclear physicist from the St. Petersburg Institute of Nuclear Physics, has been defending the theory that the taiga forests of Russia regulate the climate of northern regions of Asia for more than ten years. Many Western meteorologists disagree with her, but the government and scientists of Russia are interested in this theory
