Re: [TCML] Parabolic dishes for top load



Hi Jim,

Ignoring the 7500kva typo, I would probably lend towards a standard toroid. I have no clue about the curvatures of the discs, so I'm assuming they are similar in shape to any other dish in a parabolic shape. You could certainly use them as the inner surface, but really nothing is gained using them for inserts (compared to a simple disc insert). There might be mechanical reasons why you might want to use these for inserts, but no reason from a C aspect.

Take care,
Bart

Hello all,

I have (2) 4foot 5 ghz spun aluminum dishes which are fairly light. I am
considering using these facing each other (one facing up would likely not be
a good idea:-^) with a circular 12"outer rim of some kind as the breakout (I
have 4 or 5, 12" expandable aluminum duct segments) . This will be for a
7500kva 12" coil.
The question is should I just incorporate my standard toriod with plywood or
use the accurate dish surfaces as the inner hub? The weight will be near the
same for an interesting linear charge?

Jim Mora.
