Giant futuristic 'Tesla Tower' in abandoned woods near Moscow

I've searched and found nothing on this facility.

This is weird, and big, really big.

Really Big Thing Here

The facility is absolutely unique; nothing like it exists anywhere in the world, primarily because of its outstanding charge capacity. At its peak operating capacity the giant Marx generator, when lightning is discharged onto an isolated platform, has power equal to all power generation facilities in Russia – including thermoelectric, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar, and wind power stations combined. But only for about 100 microseconds

Interestingly;

Next to the research facility there is another test center, called “Allure.” It is a stationary simulator of the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) needed to test the sturdiness of military and civilian aviation hardware to impulse electromagnetic fields of a natural and artificial nature.

Though the dome crumbled because of mistakes in its construction, the collapse had unintended historical consequences.

The high-ranking Soviet Communist Party official in Moscow supervising the construction of the Istra dome was fired from his job and sent to a remote posting as punishment.

He was replaced with fellow Communist apparatchik Boris Yeltsin, who was invited to work in Moscow and eventually became Russia’s first president.

Obviously not super secret now, but fascinating nonetheless.

Cool, now if only there was a viable way to store that charge, either way superb thread.

That would be one hell of a battery,

Thats one hell of a spark! Anyone seen the spark plug?

Interesting, I wonder why it was abandoned. Maybe they found a better way to utilize this concept...

I doubt if they would have just dropped the research without getting a new mind working on it.

Cool , I wonder how long before the Russian kids start climbing over it.

who wants to test the faraday cage on that spark lol

I could have sworn...
ATS has info this. It was a TESLA design.

Pilots wrote about seeing off in the distance at night about it..

Flag and star...
I want to keep track of this Monstrosity.....

As for "Allure" I thought the same. So I've had a bit of a dig, and not much mind you, check this out.

The design of the APELC EMP suitcase was driven by feedback from DoD Groups that required a powerful, reliable and compact EMP source capable of disabling or defeating electronics.

If that's not an eye opener, I ain't seen one. And I'm sure they come in smaller models too.

Did anyone find a DeLorean DMC12 nearby?

Germany has a similar facility in Berlin. Its not so unique.

The British show, "Top Gear", once send a car to the German one, with Richard Hammond where he had to sit in the car while they zapped it with lightning bolts, to show how a car responds to a lightning strike.

Oh no, my girlfriend's gonna be furious!

Now, THAT'S EXAAAAACTLY WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!! ^_^

I don't think it's completely abandoned. Article says due to the high cost of operation it's only powered up when needed for testing. Also I find it interesting that they compare it to HAARP but qualify the comparison by saying that, unlike HAARP, this machine was never intended to influence weather, but both are used in future weapons research?
