Is it possible to use distilled water in a hb dummy load ?
DL consist of 4 x 200 ohm globars, wired in parallel..in an 8 gallon
container.
I welded 4 x 3 inch OD thick wall Alum pipes together, 2 stacked above 2.
One resistor resides dead center in each alum pipe. Each resistor is a
new globar type SP, 12 inches long x 1 inch in diameter.
Personally, I'm using the Ameritron ADL2500, which is 4 hefty resistors
in a case with a fan. I modified it so it automatically switches the fab
to reduce the noise.
No leakage, no corrosion, no mess if I drop it or I kick it. Much
lighter. No dangerous oils, and my shack doesn't smell like a chip shop
when I'm doing some testing.
