The STARCASTER pulsed transmitter is back underway!
Due to some donations from my son in law, the foundation
for the STARCASTER transmitter can now be isolated up
to 1,000,000 volts and allow us to use a more efficient
power supply to run it. The Oxy-Propane nitrate fueled
flux compression generator is now possible due to the
much higher priming voltage. Thanks E****** for the
insulators. We can now generate the necessary pressures
to repeatably fire the transmitter and still retain the
more expensive core components. Still have to sacrifice
the solinoids due to deformation but replacement will
be a heck of a lot cheaper. And thank you to M********'s
for the super high Voltage/Current NPN's for the driver
stage (primary only). We also received some 1200V / 200A
IGBT's that will be worked in some how in the future. I
have never seen such huge transistors in my life. WOW!
We also found some peltier junctions coolers that I'm
thinking about using on the gas coolers. More on that
later.
