These pulses are visible as lightning between the output terminals and can be used to process ores. Each type of ore has an ideal amount of processing energy (see ). The precise values are unknown, estimate values with 10%% accuracy can be found at the end of this entry. The factor between the actual value and the estimate is the same for all types of ore. ie.manual.entry.industrialwires.marx1=§lConstruction§r
The above plan shows a 5-stage generator capable of producing 3 block lightning. An arbitrary amount of stages can be added by increasing the number of ie.manual.entry.industrialwires.marx2="middle" layers. Power (either IF or EU) is connected to the HV connector, the redstone wire for the control signals is connected to the redstone connector
§lEnergy§r
Each stage of the Marx generator consists of a 1.6μF capacitor that is charged to up to 250kV (see ). When the generator is fully charged the voltage of each capacitor is roughly equal to the charging voltage. The total energy is the sum of the energy stored in the individual -ie.manual.entry.industrialwires.marx3=capacitors and is split equally between the ores to be processed.
§lControl signals§r
Voltages are represented by 2 signals: The first signal is simply proportional to the voltage to represent. The second signal is proportional to the voltage in the "gap" between 2 values of the first signal.
The charging voltage is controlled by the white and yellow signals. The voltages of the top and bottom capacitor are output to the magenta and -ie.manual.entry.industrialwires.marx4=pink resp. the orange and lime signals. The light blue signal is a firing control. If it is high the generator will attempt to fire. If the voltage of the bottom capacitor is lower than 125 kV or the total voltage is lower than 30%% of the maximum output voltage the generator will misfire, discharging the capacitors without actually producing lightning.
§lSafety§r
Due to the high voltages and energies involved in firing a Marx generator a safe distance should be maintained to avoid -ie.manual.entry.industrialwires.marx5=injury or death. Even outside of this area hearing protection (As provided by Immersive Engineering) is obligatory. Formulas to calculate the safe distances can be found in . +ie.manual.entry.industrialwires.marx3=capacitors and is split equally between the ores to be processed.
§lControl signals§r
Voltages are represented by 2 signals: The first signal is simply proportional to the voltage to represent. The second signal is proportional to the voltage in the "gap" between 2 values of the first signal, thus allowing more precise control/measurements. Panel components capable of interacting with analog signals usually support this dual-channel setup. +ie.manual.entry.industrialwires.marx4=The charging voltage is controlled by the white and yellow signals.
