Totally! SWR goes from like 1.5 to like 2.5 to 3.0:1. It survived though. Main trick in getting it to survive was it was only at about 1/3 to 1/2 it's max output power and voltage to the amp was low (around 11.8V-12.0VDC) (Lower voltage allows worse SWR handling with transistors like the 2SC2879 as in this case).
NO a standard CB radio has a 4w max TX by law. There is no way on Earth this would happen. This guy is probably pushing 1000+ watts using linear amplifiers etc....
Eric Owens Its a top loaded antenna. The inductance will cause high voltage and low current to be present at the top. The feedpoint of the antenna is high current and low voltage. All antennas have this behavior but because this particular antenna uses a loading coil inside the fiberglass to makeup for the fact that the antenna is less than 1/4 wavelength long, it makes the voltage even higher. Antennas work like tesla coils basically, just not as pronounced.
He needs what I have. K40 BCMAX. Rated for 20,000 watts, supposedly. And I’m just running barefoot with it 😂 not for long most likely, though. Don’t read this FCC lol
@@brickson98m - A 100-watt PEP signal on 75 meters going into my SGC antenna coupler is capable of producing up to 20,000 volts at the coupler's output terminal. That's why SGC supplies a length of high-tension spark plug wire for the output of the coupler to the antenna's feed point.
Use to pull up in front of the bakery at closing to key the mic just after they turned off the front billboards so that when they looked out and saw them still on and go back to flip the switch and check again they were still on, back and forth a few times just for kicks. Kids with a linear😂
Lmfao!!!! I remember back in the days keying up and comming through my neighbors toaster oven 1500 watts through a 102 in my work van, and sittin in front of subway keying up as the emergency lights going off and on and the immigrant sub maker thinking the gods were talking to him and my son laughing his ass off!!! GRIZZ STATE WIDE!!!
I found this video by chance. Can somebody explain what is happening here. My understanding is the "baby babbling" sounds are coming only from the flame? So there is no speaker at all? How can identifiable voice sounds come from a flame? And what is actually burning from antenna tip? Thank you....
Yes that is what's happening. In AM, the amplitude is the modulation so the voice causes differences in the amplitude of the flame - which you are hearing. It's similar to the Tesla Coils that play music.
I think that is a common myth. Can you find me one documented case of where RF can be proven to be the cause of any cancer? I used to think the same thing, but I've never been able to find evidence? There are tower guys who climb towers on an almost daily basis WHILE antennas are transmitting, with still no higher rates of cancer than the regular population.
DANMAN it’s non-ionizing radiation. So there is no risk of cancer. If you’re up around 2.4GHz and transmitting at high power, and you’re very close to the antenna, you could feel some heat. That’s how a microwave oven works. But unless you’re very close, and it’s transmitting at very high power, you won’t be burnt. I’ve heard of tower guys that work in cold climates sticking their hands in front of directional microwave (SHF) antennas to warm them up.
You are right - here's something funny - when there is no fire, the SWR is around 1.8:1 but when you get it to start producing fire, the SWR goes to around 2.5:1. I never blew up the amp and the reason (I think) is that I had significant voltage drop (around 11.8VDC) going to the amp. Lower voltage allows a transistor to withstand bad SWR much better. If you study the datasheet of the 2sc2879 you'll see. Thanks for watching.
us cbers usually only make noises like that when we're testing something, or atleast here in the UK, I don't know about where this person is, since its AM i would assume Italy because they usually always use AM or SSB especially when on the freeband
That is HELL on the amp.

@@Z28videogates I would bet money there are toasted components in that thing ready to go.
Damn that's so strong it's interfering with the camera.
Analog cameras used to do that kind of thing. Probably won't happen with digital cameras, though they might freeze
If that was my CB id pipe in some music into it and have an arc speaker.

Seams like some the k40 are under rated.you can fry k40 with 15, 000 watts.

The plasma discharge absorbs the RF before it's reflected to the AMP, basically a dummy load.
Oh yeah, it’s just barefoot man. Lol. Looks like the RF shielding in your camera isn’t up to par for what you’re putting out haha
How much power were you running just out if curiosity

yeah thats good for the amp...
LIke Most CB talk gibberish
wow, I love it!

It's much like the talking Tesla coils you see on other parts of UA-cam
Putting a camera near the high power transmitter is not a good idea
Can't hear you wind it up a bit
fucking good trafic cam jammer !!
still have no idea.. assume that I know nothing. I've wired mine and thats about it... just for off road parks really...
CSalev3 this guy is running a linear amp and pushing more power than his antenna is designed to handle
Imagina quanta interferência deve causar na região, deve ser bom para atrapalhar aquele vizinho que gosta de ligar um som em alto volume.

@@boberbib3178 lmao “Ball cancer”😂
I seen an Shakespeare big stick base antenna catch fire and melt and lean over... tons of black smoke lol
As a person with MANY decades experience.?.i can ABSOLUTELY call BS. The radio would have been fired.....
kinda new to cb radios... what's a 1x4?
@Z28RADIO 1x4 not gonna last that long doing that...
Check out Eric P Dollard. He plays music through his flame.
I hear yah on 435... lol 73
pyrat rip I hear oh yeah and then what sounds like Donald duck
Shall I have a guess?? ............2 or 3 kW?
do you drive down the road like that lol? if i hook my fire stick to my mount with my box it would do that?
DEMOLITIONPAUL not unless you’re putting out some power with a linear amp
@@brickson98m Duh....
So this is why CB is useless and all I hear is some jerks from across the country?
Yep, you nailed it. CB talk gibberish too!
Fcc wants to know ur location
how do that ? i want try myself, i have a wilson 5000 antenna a Ranger RCi63FFC4 and a fatboy 8 pils
Bro glitched grampas pace Maker
Fire Sticks on fire because of high is wrs
anyone need a light for your cig. lmao
One pill driving 4.
That's a gigantic waste of power
A 1x4
Это ж сколько он качает в сиби антенну
The CB talk gibberish comments... Lol
The amp is gonna be here no now ..do to output mis match your gonna kill your amp ... Yes i can hete my voice off my antennas but no fire ... Lol

Your probably correct ...I will say that's one tuff amplifier!!!!
Only a CBer would be dumb enough to do something like that.
I woudlnt want to be that close to that much RF even if it is HF rf it can still cause health issues....
TheZeke1974 like what health issues?
Balls cooks, fall off no problem.
@@brickson98m It will cause orgasm in women.
It's non ionizing
That claim is going to need some proof or clarification good buddy.

This craps not even worth a comment
Kek.
If you watch it has so much Rf it;s messing with the camera...Good way to get cancer...
DW Red look into the difference between ionizing radiation, and non-ionizing radiation. There is no risk of cancer here.
WHAT A WASTE.
Fake. Dont be gullible
Idiot
