Very impressive; expanding Tesla coil design into a completely new area combining modulated power supply & vacuum tube.
 
What is the capacitance value and voltage rating of the high-current "DC link" capacitors used in your SLR modulator?

Hi All,

I just wanted to share my project of the past few months with the
list.  It's a new type of valve coil.  Gone are the microwave oven
transformers, and in their place is a digitally controlled power
supply.  This is basically the Valve-based answer to Steve Ward's QCW.
Credit goes to Steve Ward for help with the design of the frequency
modulated SLR power supply.

If you want more details, just ask.

Here are some videos.
