Have you tried adding a little more yeast?Did some breadboard work last night. Naturally it doesn't work. Gotta troubleshoot.

I tried some monostat, it didn't work. Maybe I needed to wait 7 days but I got impatient. I added the pots thinking it was an open input but in the end it was just crossed wires.Have you tried adding a little more yeast?
Smaller words, crayons, construction paper. Explain it to us like we are five. Snacks would be good, and maybe then a nap.View attachment 196606
Powering up this thyratron. It is like a big SCR which is basically a gated diode.
Rating for this beauty is 20kv and 70A for .1 second maximum. The silver is mercury rvapor. Not sure if this thing is functional or not.
In an SCR or Thyradron there's a cathode and anode like a diode but it has a gate (or grid in the case of the Thyratron) instead. You apply voltage in a forward way like a diode with no gate voltage and it doesn't do anything. When you go above a specific value on the gate or grid, it will conduct as a diode until the voltage falls to zero again.Smaller words, crayons, construction paper. Explain it to us like we are five.

I wasn't overly serious, but if it can be done on a budget, just 160-10m. Don't think I need anything for 6m, it's just not that active most of the year. Even 10m is questionable, since I usually don't work that high on voice, just digital.View attachment 197062
RCA/burle 8988. Plate dissipation is 5kw should loaf at legal limit. Not even close to the biggest one I have.
Mono band or multi band? I want to build an mrf454 setup I saw in a 1985 arrl handbook. The HG mrf454s are supposed to be really efficient and really cool running. I have some parts and was tinkering with it but stopped and didn't get too far. I should breadboard out the bias circuit at least.
Max power through a delta loop is bound to be a heck of a thing. From what I understand of loop antennas the capacitor in the middle has huge voltages across it potentially. As in you're talking stuff like vac variables to make it work.I wasn't overly serious, but if it can be done on a budget, just 160-10m.

I like hearing on 40m and 20m, "Oh, I've just got a Delta Loop......... and 1.5kW". No wonder everyone in the northern hemisphere can hear you like you're shouting in my window.
you’re making space lasers, aren’t you?
