Re: [TCML] Sloans high power VTTC
David Sloan of Stanford designed and built it. Used two huge 15 kV
oscillator tubes driving a tapped copper tubing coil with water circulating
inside the tubing for cooling. It ran at continuous input of 150 kVA.
Sloan published several papers on it. His background was a "ham radio
operator".
