Re: [TCML] Re: Re: Dummy load for optimum cap size Experimentation ---High Sensitivity/



Seems to me that trying to measure either temperature or light from this circuit would be a major hassle.I would think there would be an easier way of accomplishing this by measuring the R.F. produced by the primary circuit.I may be wrong but isn't there something used by the old school Ham radio guys that would give you the results you need?Seems to remember something like a field strength meter or something requiring a loose coupling with the coil.Maybe I'm way off base.Any Radio guys out there?

I have been reading all of these posts and I can only assume I really 
don't understand the the test setup.  Are you 
trying to drive a halogen lamp with 15,000 volts and 60 ma and expecting 
it to produce any light?  Has anyone really
tried this?  The halogens I have experienced take a lot of current 60 ma. 
Or is the halogen fluorescing?  One other 
way to measure the output of the bulb, assuming it is producing any light 
is with a light temperature meter that
photographers use measuring the temp in Kelvin.  Problem I have had with 
the IR meters is that they average and
you would have to get your source to fill the full aperture of the meters 
sensor.
Just my 1.5 cents.
