Marx generator with fluid cooling and gas space for spark gaps

A Marx configuration, comprising:

• a housing surrounding an interior;
• a Marx generator disposed in said interior, said Marx generator containing:
• a plurality of capacitor stages connected in series, and each having at least one first and one second voltage terminal;
• and
• cross branches, wherein each two adjacent said capacitor stages between said first terminal of a preceding capacitor stage and said second terminal of a following capacitor stage are connected by one of said cross branches, wherein each of said cross branches contains a spark gap resulting in a plurality of spark gaps, said cross branches each have at least one sealed gas space for an insulating gas for said spark gaps resulting in a plurality of sealed gas spaces, each of said sealed gas spaces being disposed in said interior and containing at least two said spark gaps, wherein all of said spark gaps are disposed in a respective one of said sealed gas spaces;
• said housing containing a sealed fluid space for a cooling fluid for said Marx generator;
• at least one base support disposed in said interior and surrounding said at least one sealed gas space partially;
• and
• at least one of said spark gaps is formed by two terminal bodies, each of said terminal bodies contains an electrode of a respective one of said spark gaps, wherein both of said terminal bodies are fastened to said at least one base support to form said spark gap, and said at least one sealed gas space is thereby completely surrounded by said terminal bodies.
