Tesla Tower video: Futuristic high voltage machine in lightning action near Moscow

Russian scientists are working hard to restore the Tesla Tower, constructed in the 1970s to protect vehicles, aircrafts and electronic equipment against lightning. 

Today, the one-of-a-kind High Voltage Marx and Tesla Generators Research Facility, located some 40 kilometers from Moscow, could boast the capacity to equal Russia's entire electricity output – but only for about 100 microseconds.
