RF Generator - Inductively Coupled Plasma

[@Kami23-tg9vi]

did you ever measure the waveform on the MOSFET?did it works at zvs?

[@uecmitsuimarinedieselengin873]

I dare not pull an arc between the coils on my RF generator board, I was guessing maybe it will destory the mosfets😂

[@MrTurboturbine]

It was mostly unintentional at first 😬 but it seems pretty durable, I won't push it...

[@MrElapid]

I'm curious if you've put a step-up transformer through the loops. Maybe 1k turns, sort of like a bipolar Tesla coil.

[@MrTurboturbine]

Yes, that works to some degree...

The plasma in the tube doesn't get hot?

[@MrTurboturbine]

@@owaisshaikh3067 yea it can get very hot.

Single switch class E ?

[@inductivelycoupledplasma6207]

Nope! It's very similar to a Mazilli ZVS mate, operating in class C mode

[@rovhalgrencparselstedt8343]

That board looks expensive. Btw if memory serves, rf excited high lumen output discharge lamps just like your demo here used to be a thing back in the early 2000's.

Wow... so scary...

Single switch class E ?

[@MrTurboturbine]

It's more similar to the mazilli zvs circuit, using 2 RF transistors.
