Not mine (obviously) I wouldn't be able to afford to run this for 10 minutes never mind days at a time....
I also clearly don't have a clear understanding of the parts and exactly how they get put together.
I figured I would post this up as the numbers are pretty impressive (to me anyway)
To think, not one watt of this RF power leaves the building.
There are four 20kw RF amplifiers those get piped into two combiners and the output of those get combined again. There is another booster that bumps things up to 100kw (not running now)
Not sure how that gets piped in...
Things I found interesting:
they create a slurry of baking soda? and water mixed to 50 ohms to use as a dummy load when needed. That slurry gets circulated through a heat exchanger to dissipate heat.
the pipes in the last pic are filled with deionized water to cool the output and pipe it down to the load.
