i build induction heat treating equipment, and some times i get a chance to work with stuff directly out of Frankensteins lab...

RF power supply

class C oscillator tube, rated output 60,000 watts, legal operating frequency of 450,000 hz, @ 15,000volts

total output capability of 30,000,000 hz @ 150 kw, at 35,000 volts

they operate idle at 7kw, roughly 700 degrees F, that is like leaving a 7000 watt light bulb on...

these things are strong enough, if properly grounded to leave radar blips on metro airports radar scanners lol.

just thought some of you guys might be interested in this stuff, its the same thing out of an old vacum tube radio, just like 300 times the size, oh and they cost about 9,000$

Pretty Neat. I sometimes end up with things out of Frankenstiens lab. We have bought out at least 50 labs and they always have the weirdest shit.
 
I love working with Frankenstein stuff! I am around hi power and freq Military communications equipment all day. Everytime we hit a new comm set I swear im looking into the future. The Merc guys are we have here repair Microwave frequency radios. I feel sorry for them, because they get cooked from the inside out if they stand in front of their bad ass dishes they have.

Rumor is too that alot of exposure to RF will kill the y chromosome in males and not allow them to have male children, which proves true since almost all the Staff Sergeants here have female children.
 
the federal government wont allow us to run this tube at its full potential for that very reason. if you take 2 very big jumper cables and run them to the rafters of the building an solid ground the machine, it literally is like giong back to ww2, these were the exact same tubes that early radar testing were using.

we use a small water cooled copper coil, to harness the magnetic losses when the machine is ran, those magnetic losses can be used to heat ferrus and some non ferrous materials to there Currie temperatures, 1900, 2000F..

the biggest power supply i have ever seen was 2.5 megawatts, made for heat treating big pinion gears... 0 to 2200F in less then .5 seconds, its scary powerful.

I know guys that were around Counter Battery radar that couldn't have kids til lthey went on leave for 30 days.


29 Palms? Are you a C&E boot?

Thats F'in SCARY!

Haha nutts, definitely a C&E boot. Out of here and headed to Camp Pendleton 1st MLG Combat Logistics Regiment 17. Im the first batch of 2841 activated since 2001 when they split the 2844 and 2846. Obviously you spent some time here? Im Alpha, were you Bravo Co?
