Wait a second.
1500W into 35 or so ohms is like 6.6A... running through -j235 ohm capacitor
is more like 1500Vrms/2100V peak.
10kVrms across a 370pF cap at 1.8MHz is 42A flowing through. That's nearly
62kW into 35 ohms... or like 1500W into less than a couple ohms.
I was going to respond "Max Gain Systems" for vacuum variables to the
subsequent post asking that but it's not necessary here. Plenty of air
variables that can take it.
