Re: Passive Ballasting for DRSSTC - My thoughts before Ed Wingates Teslathon

Original poster: "Sean Taylor" <sstaylor@xxxxxxxx>

Dan, I really have no idea what you're talking about - I'm not familiar
with any of the data you are referencing, nor the phenomenon that you are
describing.  I'm guessing you're describing the final (peak) current in a
DRSSTC at the end of the RF cycle (the end of the drive pulse).  I'm also
guessing you have data that shows that this current is limited and
approaches a steady state condition, as opposed to continuously growing.
Is this correct?  Is there somewhere I/we can get this data?

Thanks,

Now there are two ways to answer this post.  One is to be close minded,
act with attitude, and tell me that passive ballasting is impossible,
wastes energy, and does NOT work - as has been the typical response.
The second would be to try to discuss this in a positive manner and
perhaps provide insight to why i am getting these results.  Perhaps the
action isn't purely resistive or inductive as in a typical ballast - as
i originally thought.  But you guys tell me.  What are your thoughts.
I'm open ears.
