[TCML] Sloans high power VTTC

[sparktron01 at comcast.net]

HI Jim and Dex 

You are correct and I misquoted, this machine never discharged into the air. 
However, there has been interest in the past on details of this machine. 

Regards 
Dave Sharpe

Since this didn't make sparks, I'd more call it a high powered 
oscillator, and I doubt it's the highest power oscillator around. Big 
induction furnaces are in the 100s of kW size, not to mention the AM 
"border blaster" broadcast stations running 500kW or thereabouts. When 
it comes to peak power, there are lots of radars in the many megawatt range. 

As far as classic "resonance transformers" goes, the multi megavolt 
units constructed by Charlton, et.al. (I think that's the name) for Xray 
use antedate the vacuum tube unit in patent 3014170. They resonated at 
180 Hz and used a multi tier stack of pie shaped windings,
