Erwin Otto Marx was a German electrical engineer who invented the Marx generator
, a device for producing high voltage electrical pulses.
He worked as an engineering scientist in Braunschweig from 1918 to 1950 where he performed research and development for electrical power distribution via long distances.
is awarded for contributions by individual engineers to pulsed power technology. It was awarded for the first time in 1981 at the 3rd IEEE International Pulsed Power Conference.
The VDE local chapter Braunschweig awards an annual "Erwin-Marx-Prize" to successful graduates from Technical University Carolo Wilhemina in Braunschweig and/or the University of applied Sciences in Braunschweig/Wolfenbüttel.
Marx generator
A Marx generator is an electrical circuit first described by Erwin Otto Marx in 1924. Its purpose is to generate a high-voltage pulse. Marx generators are often used to simulate the effects of lightning on power line gear and aviation equipment....
