That 4CM400000 (yeah, 400000) really astonished me.
Running class C, it can produce 1025kW (yeah, KW !) !

All it needs is...2700 watts of drive, and some easily available power
supply (filament is 16,3v...600amps, but who cares?...plate is 22,5kV
at 65 amps...)

Serious CBers should have a look at it ;-)

By the way, i would be really interested in getting information about
operation at such power levels: How is power supply achieved, what
does the output circuit looks like...
