 ===== Status/TODO list =====
-  * find a safe place to operate this thing - due to EM interferences generated, typical hackerspace overfilled with RFi sensitive equipment is not an ideal place for a thing like this. It will be necessary to operate generator in distant or shielded area. - FIXME
+  * find a safe place to operate this thing - due to EM interferences generated, typical hackerspace overfilled with RFi sensitive equipment is not an ideal place for a thing like this. It will be necessary to operate generator in distant or shielded area. - Operating generator in the basement looks fine
-  * good high voltage power supply (~20kV DC, with decent current rating), maybe neon sign transformer? - FIXME
+  * good high voltage power supply (~20kV DC, with decent current rating), maybe neon sign transformer? - Dual MOTs with voltage tripler
-  * high voltage charging resistors or inductors - FIXME
+  * high voltage charging resistors or inductors - we have a lot of old Tesla 1MOhm resistors, thanks Ray1!
-  * high voltage capacitors - WIP, Mrkva
+  * high voltage capacitors - FIXME
-  * HV-resistant frame (wood is probably not a good idea) - FIXME
+  * HV-resistant frame - we have wooden frame with place for 10 capacitors and 10 spark gaps
-  * adjustable spark gaps - FIXME
+  * adjustable spark gaps - we have M8 dome nuts on screws, works fine
