Now that a scary thought, a piece of equipment that is

the ham bands that has been built to CB radio standards by

toddyboy.

Powered by a massive electrolytic capacitor that's cooled by
liquid oxygen!

Well, there's where your wrong steve, the capacitor isn't cooled at
all. It the chamber where the 1.4Mv of electricity is sent from it
output point to the metal plates which collects the electrity, it is
sent to the hybrid capacitor. The liquid oxygen flows through pipes
like in your car between the plate chamber and the outer skin. Liquid
Oxygen is used to keep the plate chamber cool because liquid oxygen

is
near absolute zero.


Hey...Mr Wizard...

Do you know what you get when you mix fuel, an oxidizer and an
ignition source?

Do you know why liquid NITROGEN is used for cryogenic cooling
rather than OXYGEN...?!?!

Since I know YOU don't know the answer, why don't you ask some Cub
Scout on his first camp-out working on his fire badge...I bet HE
knows...
