big coil antennas exposed

If there is enough wattage going through that coil; the coil won't glow.
It will explode - instead.

hey, thats even better

That coil can act just like the coiled burners on an electric stove. But, that's gonna take a huge amount of RF current! I realy, realy doubt if that's going to happen any time soon, I don't care who/what/where/when. As in, how would you ever get that amount of current to the coil??

220vac? im jk. yea i figure it would take Kw's of RF power.

i seem to recall in an past thread someone saying the oil filed antennas eventually wound up leaking the oil . id rather have an unlimited supply of air to cool the coil rather than a few ounces of contained liquid . the liquid/oil will retain heat around the coil much longer than open air .

Ever seen the big cans hanging on electrical poles? They are all oil filled...wonder why?

the mineral oil used in the transformers are supposed to have excellent insulating properties along with stability to keep the transformers cool and from arcing.

indeed

time to buy a oil coil and experiment, by adding gasoline and aluminum flakes.
