This is my first High Frequency SSTC using a single IRFP460 mosfet and an Armstrong oscillator.
Secondary: 1000 turns CuEm 0.16mm on 1cm diameter PVC pipe.
Primary: 10 turns CuEm 0.6mm
Feedback: 2 turns CuEm 0.6mm
I'm currently tweaking it for optimum performance. A higher numbers of primary turns seems to increase power.
Strong RF interference observed. Caution when using electronic equipement in close proximity.
Film was taken using a camera and optical zoom.
@Alex1M6 yes, it did scare me a bit. I wasn't expecting the sound it made.
