[TCML] AEDC 3.2 MW Power Oscillator Plan View



I've uploaded a copy of the plan view of this monstrous Class C power
oscillator.

http://drop.io/Sparktron01

To put perspective on drawing, system was assembled in a shielded aluminum
enclosure
16' long (horizontal) by 12' wide (vertical) by 8' high.  Unit was very
first high power
inductive coupled plasma (ICP) power supply for heating gasses; this
technology is
becoming very much in vogue for hazmat destruction.  Tank coil was used to
drive the plasma.
Plasma temp in excess of 10,000K will guarantee complete destruction of
worst high
hazard toxic wastes.  Updated patent highlighting this technology, (see Fig
12) and
using virtually the same vacuum tube technology, although at higher
operational frequencies:

The design and construction of this unit is not complete, not shown is the
30MW
(Megawatt) substation, load tap changing transformer, interface to 115kVAC
grid, ignitron rectifier
enclosure, HVDC power supply controls, HVAC /tube cooling and monitoring,
and
system DAQ/Controls.  And note that this system has fixed tune frequencies,
no one
made a tuning capacitor measured in 10-100nF sizes (they would cost a
fortune and
be the size of a house anyway with 40kVDC hold-off).

And someone wanted to build a 1 MW VTTC?  ;^D
