It is quite easy to understand. An open wire takes a current to be loaded capacitively. But the current does currently not know that the wire is open at the end. But the current in an inductive is not allowed to jump we know from physics. So what should the current do if it reaches the open end? It increases the voltage so that the current is still running. It increases that much that the sparc is visible. The higher voltage at the end then acts like a generator and returns direction sender. If it reaches the end, it sees the transistor source-drain resistor to be loaded with the energy of that reflected wave. Is this complicated?
Do you make your copper water cool blocks/ plates or do you have a supplier for them, as I am looking for a supplier for a larger water cool block to do 2 kw on vhf that will be doing 60 seconds TX /RX for very long periods, BTW nice work man, its very hard to find items like these here on this Rock in the Caribbean that I call home .
Yes I make them. If you think these ones would be suitable, or close to it, shoot me an email. Heat wise I have no doubt they could handle it. Mudducksharky@gmail.com
Lmao, that's awesome brother, this is the same type of thing I always wonder about. Hahahaha. Wonder what the amp looks like under the FLIR ir as you do that
great show ! this is why you should not run pallet to max out put. RG 58 not rated much power. RG 8X or 8M not much better . If you kept going the coax would start on fife ! . 73's
Well its about time.. Lol welcome to the club
Have you seen John Bartals video of his DDR antena on the roof of his jeep? Major fire in the wire.
That’s a weird welder you built ! 😜
You know fire is the devils only friend...
Would like to play around with this myself

Just curious... what device was on the pallet? Was it a 65 volts device or a 50 volt device?
That's the mrfx1k80h

7:50 What kind of 50 volt power supply are you using?
If you can link to it.

Cool man will do and thanks
Wavin' Sharky, Brewster 30.06 Sactown. Have you delved in Peltier cooling yet?
LOL. RF entertainment! How your design behaves in the ham radio frequencies?
Probably works fine from 25-30mhz but I never tested those frequencies. Outside of that I'm sure performance is poor.
@@MudDuckSharky That would be a great video to see performance @10m. Many have asked me about that since my purchase.
I like your builds and also rust gameplay;)
lmao .....wonder why the coax is getting hot....
hello can you indicate the model of the power supply you use at 50 volts thanks Alex
I can’t find anything by google how to order one of these pallet kits ?? Help please 🙏🙏
Shoot me an email mudducksharky@gmail.com
Are you back in business yet
Rf awesomeness ☺️😲😉

yep enjoyed
