High Voltage Ballast Resistor and Inner Grid Help
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2018 9:14 am
Hello Fusioneers,
I was wondering how I would go about finding a 200 kΩ 320 W wirewound ceramic high voltage ballast resistor for my fusion reactor. I've looked online and most ballast resistors are only 0.4-1.8 Ω, a minuscule fraction of what I need. If there are any alternatives to this amount of power in a ballast resistor, that'd be great. I also would like to know how one would find a 1.25” Diameter three-hoop spherical grid, made using 0.48 mm tungsten wire. I've primarily been using the materials that Kuba Anglin used in his youtube video, but I'm open to suggestions on different materials to use in my fusor as I don't want to be an exact-copy of the stuff other fusioneers have done.
Look in the description to find the materials I'm using.
