[TCML] PIRANHA-III

[piranha]

Hi,

Now that many are playing with high power SISGs :-D , there is no longer 
any worry about the PIRANHA-III.

I never developed the dual MOT thing past the theory, but I sort of knew 
what I was dong back then 8-)

The schematic is here.  Just use a big variac to run off 20A 120VAC.  I 
was working on a solid-state power controller too but that never got far.

The microsim file may need the diodes redefined and the breakdown 
voltages set to like 30kV to get it to run:

A little sketchy, but that is where it was back then and it looked fine.


I lost interest and went on to other things so It all pretty must 
stopped there.  But if you have any questions, I can probably figure it 
out still ;-)

I knew it would take a year to catch on...  It might take another year 
for the ball terminal :-P

Super busy here these days, but I see that after 18 months, 'modern' 
technology is catching on!! :-D
