A very compact system using a PA3 amplifier. Amplifier power is supplied by one of the commercial Yucco power supplies shown in the last picture. 4 images |
Wow! This researcher managed to squeeze everything - the computer, power supplies, the SSQ-2F and the PA1 amplifier into one desktop computer case. And guess what - it works! 23 images |
This well engineered and built setup allows the researcher to sleep while using the Phanotron at full power. The Farady Cage prevents RF interference to the neighbors. 6 images |
This system was built on blank SSQ-2F and PA1 circuit boards from data in the instruction manuals. Locally sourced components were used, and the LC31 coupler was hand-made. 3 images |
This system was built to withstand rough handling and is built to professional standards. Designed for high power use, the system includes both an SSQ-2F and a PA1 amplifier board. 3 images |
The combination of an SSQ-2F + PA1 amplifier makes the system capable of handling a larger tube when needed. The system can operate with both plasma tube and contact electrodes at the same time. 8 images |
This system was built entirely from information in the instruction manuals. The LC31 coupler was hand-made as well. The circuit boards were made by the researcher, and the standard SSQ-2F and PA1 design was modified to suit the needs of the researcher. 12 images |
It uses a PA3 amplifier, and can drive a larger plasma tube if needed. A bank of laptop power adapters are used to power the amplifier. 7 images |
This system was built from information in the instruction manuals. The LC31 coupler was also hand-made. The circuit boards were made by the researcher. 8 images |
Using an SSQ-2F and a PA1 amplifier with laptop computer power adapters, this system is built into an old desktop computer case. It's not fancy, but it works just fine. 3 images |
A beautiful job indeed! Well designed and constructed. 5 images |
One is low power at 100 watts, and the second unit can run up to 500 watts if needed. 7 images |
Everything is just spread out on the floor during the testing phase of this system build. 4 images |
This circuit board was laid out and built using information in the instruction manuals. It was adapted to the specific requirements of the researcher. 1 image |
This system uses an SPA4 and is driven by a Spooky2 frequency generator. 8 images |
This setup uses a bank of laptop power adapters to power the SPA4 amplifier. 5 images |
The researcher has built several SPA4 systems to drive his custom plasma tubes. The standard LC31 coupler was adapted to his requirements. 7 images |
The researcher adapted the SPA4 to his particular layout requirements. Despite the changes, the SPA4 performed as designed. 6 images |
Using a PA3 amplifier and laptop computer power adapters, this system in compact and powerful. 3 images |
A professional-looking build, this system uses laptop power adapters to power the amplifier. 5 images |
This beautiful system has a Phanotron plasma tube. The PA3 amplifier is driven by an Atelier-Robin F165 frequency generator. 5 images |
This system uses an SPA4 amplifier. The plasma tube is housed in a portable wooden case. 4 images |
This researcher installed his plasma tube amplifier in a nicely finished wood cabinet. 6 images |
This system uses an SSQ-2F and a PA1 amplifier. 2 images |
An early system using an SSQ-2F v1.41 and an analogue duty cycle meter. 2 images |
A metal toolbox provides solid support for the equipment as well as shielding to prevent RF feedback into the SSQ-2F. A "brute force" transformer power supply is used to power the PA1 amplifier. 5 images |
This researcher used a metal case for his system. He also sends DC power through the coaxial cable to the cooling fan for the LC31 coupler. 8 images |
The metal case provides RF shielding and makes for a neat-looking system. 5 images |
This beautifully built system features stunning design and an outstanding look. The SPA4 amplifier was built from a kit by the researcher. Laptop power adapters are used for power. 11 images |
Built into a stunning hand made metal cabinet, this SPA4 amplifier system uses a commercial high voltage power supply for the amplifier. This unit will drive either hand-held or standard plasma tubes. 14 images |
This system features a Spooky2 generator driving a PA3 amplifier. Laptop power adapters are used for power. 2 images |
Still under construction, this system uses an SPA5 amplifier and an SSQ-BAT plasma tube. 3 images |
This system uses an SPA4 amplfier. 7 images |
This system uses a PA3 amplifier. It has five 24-volt commercial power supplies built into the cabinet. 7 images |
An SPA4 amplifier drives a Phanotron plasma tube. the equipment is housed in a wood cabinet. 7 images |
This researcher is using a pair of Bill Cheb 8-inch Phanotrons. 1 image |
This unit was assembled inside a used equipment case. 4 images |
A recycled desktop computer case serves as the enclosure for this beautifully assembled SPA4 amplifier system. The stand for the Phanotron tube is both portable and sturdily designed to protect the plasma tube. 8 images |
The researcher used this heavy-duty metal enclosure for RF shielding. 5 images |
This researcher used a metaal cabinet for his Bill Cheb SSQ-ST plasma tube system. 11 images |
Using a toolbox, this researcher assembled a very nice SPA4 - Spooky2 plasma tube system. The Phanotron is housed in a portable enclosure with a removable cover. 5 images |
