- Anyone out there have solid technical information on Dummy Loads & Carborundum Resistors?? My old Heathkit Cantenna has a ~1" dia x ~5" (iirc) grey carborundum resistor, sitting in a can of oil. (rat

- IF it's the aluminum doing something that steel wouldn't do it is causing eddy currents to flow through it, shunting the magnetic field slightly... perhaps this is causing a change in the lams slappi

- Just catching up... Very *bad* idea to use a neon sign transformer for the bias on an electrostatic air cleaner filter element. WAY too much CURRENT!! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!! Deadly dangerous. Far bet

- Thinking about the issue of keeping the filaments cooking at +/- 5% of nominal rating for longest life... Seems to me that a saturable core type transformer would fit that bill perfectly... certainly

- In the USA, that's a moot issue. At my QTH, quite moot. Not running on a generator... not likely to run a kilowatt on a generator, if I have to go to emergency back up power. Like a motor controller

- Nice pix! My 2 cents worth... others may have better thoughts on this... I'd trace the circuit, since there's really not much to a linear... Start from the output and go to the input... it will look

- In general, larger fans run at lower RPMs are the quietest. You can outboard a larger fan and run the air through a length of ducting, flexible or solid as long as it is a "squirrel cage" type blower

- Bernie, WB5HBM, wrote that he would avoid using DC fans since the motors produced "significant" noise compared to AC fans... I wonder if this thought refers to the older "brush" type DC motor and not

- This is a highly technical question and requires a detailed explanation. Rich may or may not be fully up on these aspects... The key to the process is the method of recovering and saving the vacuum.
