Next, bigger power transformer and active device (aka transmitter tube).
Which reminds me, anyone have a 500-2000W tube on hand? Preferably not
forced-air or water cooled, but if so, then how about a blower for my pair

The next step is to get this to work inside my vacuum chamber, and use
it to evaporate quartz.

BTW, I found this site to be very helpful during my design phase:
