Great idea Ron! I have a couple of ideas for improvements for anyone
contemplating building one.
1) 5 gallon buckets are very commonly available made from steel. It would
eliminate having to line the plastic bucket with aluminum foil and would
probably provide better shielding. Plus you wouldn't have to machine a
separate plate for the cover either.
2) I would think it would be relatively easy to find a small pump of some
type to circulate the cooling oil. Perhaps something for an aquarium?
3) I'd add a simple temperature circuit to monitor coolant temperature.
