RE: PlasmaSonic II tweaking

Dan, anyone ever try to modulate a SSTC using a series modulation
transformer? Similar to VT plate mod. ??? Just curious. Now I was told
many years ago that one could never get (AUDABLE) audio using a grid to
mod a VTTC. I proved that incorrect. I still think that with your
success with the PlasmaSonic you should still continue the Plate
modulated VTTC. I always Knew grid mod was difficult, but it does work.
But plate mod may be the holly grail of Vacuum plasma audio dynamics? I
have once heard the great discharge of a AM radio station tower, so I
know that decent plasma to air, audio dynamics exists. But yes, I will
slowly progress to the second Plasmasonic, without (hopefully) more FET
deaths...

What mods would it take to get pure un-modulated RF? I am still trying
(failing?) to understand a H-Bridge! Could one use a 555?

Thanks for any assistance.

  David Trimmell

You need to build another plasmasonic.  For a variety of reasons:

1.  One cannot appreciate the stereo imaging and point source imaging
created from two stereo PlasmaSonics.
Its unbelievable

2.  Two PlasmaSonics will increase your overall volume by 3dB (factor of
2)

3.  More ozone, the better!

4.  More RF.  RF is good!  Also, the UV light from the arcs provide nice
suntans and burns in the wintertime!
