   Have you been watching Zilipoper by any chance?

   Oh cool, he just got a 750W C-band uplink TWTA.

   A detour from his usual magnetrons and Tesla coils.

     @f4grx He's developing into a brilliant cross between Styropyro and ElectroBOOM. I have questions about the treatment of capacitance and ignoring leakage inductance in the mains transformer. I worry hugely about the effects on his corneas and perhaps earlobes and nose tissues. Corneas and eye tissues in particular though. He didn't really get into the physics of coupling into the waveguide. I have some 80 kW pulsed magnetrons on my desk right now. This video inspires me to try crazier stuff!

     I have never seen such a fantastically dangerous project in a box before.

     At least he's aware of the risks.
