QCW

A lower power run of my prototype QCW coil. I need to move up to 240v mains before i can crank it up more. Primary current is around 65A 12ms ON time It uses a large synchronous buck mode supply to make a linear ramp of the bus voltage fed into a high impedance dual resonant coil operating at 370khz.

This probably the most common and corniest question when it comes to awesome electronics, but do you have a link to the schematic?

Looks like another arrogant juvenile trying to kill himself with things he doesn't understand :-P

Seriously though - is this guy good thermally to run at CW? (and whats the bandwidth of the buck supply?) we need to start doing some analog modulation - I also wanna try some QCW with analog modulation (by which I mean ac-couple your audio on top of the ramps, I think we talked about this a while back but now that this seems really good to go, it would be fun to play around with)

OMG dude. you're gonna kill yourself.

damn, that lools cool as hell! i know what the tesla coil is, but whats the rest of it in the beginning? what keeps the output of the coil from arcing down to the primary? its shorter than the length of the arcs
