No power company ... he owns a few interesting but weird ideas ...

Looks like a a perfect team, him and I, I have the Ideas, and he has the electronic expertise to make them real. We would be Billionaires in no time.... WoW Every other amplifier company would cease to exist, if they didn't take our patents and use them, they would just get an error message "GAME OVER" The only one missing is BILL GATES, we need software, and maybe an investor... I forgot his email addy, damn!

heat

AudioSan said:
as it is that smal and light, i guess it's SMPS PSU and watercooling?
but how do it only dump 12% of the heat into the room? i can only think of 1 way to do that from the top of my head. thats is constant flow of running water from the watertap and dump the heatet water in the drain. or is it some kind of dynamic bias?

It's actually heat exchangers (boat tech), the system will not tolerate hard water for long.. Special coolant needed, no problem, Peak antifreeze and distilled water, it's even "pet" friendly 😛

OK, who did this to me, I mean all I wanted to do is make a cool amp.. well let me rephrase that "HOT" amp, and I get this.... It is 100% real, no joke... Really? I mean I am putting every safety device known to man in it, I don't think it will "meltdown".... Chernobyl 1... Happy anniversary to my love Janet, 1 month today 🙂!
Reguards,

I think you need to go to youtube and watch "queensryche" "eyes of a stranger", I met an awesome woman there while I was locked up in the mental ward... Her name was "mary" the same name as the NUN in the video. We connected on a very high spiritual nature.... Mental telepathy... If it wasn't for janet, well it would be "MARY"....

distortion

KatieandDad said:
Absolutely crazy concept. The human ear will hear distortion within the normal hearing range. 1000W is well above that threshold.
Click to expand...
Again, your wrong. The aleph series for some reason, never emits distortion that is percievable, It is the distortion of air. With unsensitive speakers like planars, whos sensitivity is like 87db/w, they need power. If it's too loud, you just back up. I'm not ready to do the math here except to say, that magnepan has rammed 2kw/ch into the 20.7's, no sweat, no distortion except for second harmonic, the BAD kind. So we throw it in the first harmonic and get rid of secondary ones, it's called "nivrvana", the sound of one hand clapping... I would still have 4 svs ultras on standby just in case I wanted to party, that alone is 14kw of low bass. Homes cannot take it, hope my new home comes with a warranty, I already blew the skylights out with 2 of them. Looking back on it, I guess I should have opened them up first, to get "transmission line" effects, but then again it was "winter" Hey, it's ok to be wrong, it's how we "learn"..http://s1218.photobucket.com/user/N3SZD/media/Brokenglass.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 BTW, they wouldn't pay for damages, in the basement where they are, you couldn't see straight, and my heart was skipping beats it hit you soooo hard

Yes we had some good times, I still remember my first electronic thingy, my mom bought me a 200 in 1 set from radioshack way back in the 70's... I didn't know what the stuff did, but I did do everyting in the book, the diode radio, the light sensor alarm, I threw the box in the window, so I would know when my dad was coming to get me for visits... I miss him as you know... He got me into inventions way back in like 79. He actually invented caller ID back then, too bad he never patented it, the brainstorming sessions got my mind to think outside the box...

Now I'm lucky to see him every other year.. as he moved to idaho, away from all the family as you know.. But he left me with enough tools to flip this world on it's head. That is what I am going to do...... Be proud of your friend...

I called my friend Tony, who I knew forever basically,and we reminisced about the "old" days.. He sounded "out of it", yes he has money, and knows my story, I saw he posted some stuff, while nice, he replied to his post to explain about me and used my name and what I told him, duhhhhhhhhhh I told him to take a nap.

My greatest award yet, this pic... coming next...

Wow, thank god he went back to bed, using my name, what he wrote is true, but using my name? He's gonna get it tomorrow when he's sober... Geez..

Ok, My greatest award, my framed "prize", understand a lot of love and work went into my aleph 3, the original SET tube killer, I had no money to buy one so i made it, like 150 hrs worth. Raw metal, my first project, and I thought I did well, can i do better, sure.. way better, lessons learned. The amp was built in 2001, and still rocks perfect, though the temps on the sinks are like 160 degrees, yeah I left it on for a weekend idling, I knew it was on when I opened the door to the basement... WoW,hot... never hurt it, it's basically indestructible...
Enjoy..

What I want to do is use all of what each supply can deliver, so it is the +150- rails, that spec is almost dead on, @ 22A.

You want to allow for the fact that while you might bias each channel at 11A,
they will draw twice that on a peak, and you will find that unlike linear supplies,
switching supplies do not make an allowance for short term draw above their
rating, so you would likely be looking at 22A for each channel.

http://www.millerwelds.com/products/enginedriven/product.php?model=M00492Dearest Mr Pass, if I read this right, that is 13.2 KW total. ok, no problem. Power is NO issue, thanks for the feedback I can still get it but now it's 3 phase only. Hey If you have a 100 grand to buy an amp, then you have the power for it i guess. So take your numbers, and have someone find a feather... Power is no issue (except 3 phase) and cooling is dirt cheap. Rock on, we are now in 15-17 KW Maybe 20kw input, territory at least, I guess thats where the donut comes in and some fancy spiral wound batteries too.......... Oh Yeah......... I guess I need this, it's better tan what the power company wanted to rearrange the poles, that was 7 digits...!!! I guess unless you have 3 phase the price goes to $125,000

I'm impressed by the concept! Now, if you can only get the "high end" to pass 800 kilohertz, you might have the world's first Class A audio-modulated tesla coil, with the proper output field windings.

"E x B = H" (the Pointing vector for E-mag propagation, you know...)

With that sort of power in a LF tesla coil, people within 1,000 meters may be able to use two wire elements (one in each ear) to hear the music emanated from your E-mag field. I want one, but I'm concerned about the static cling it may cause internal to my domicile, and the infamous wife-approval-factor (WAF).

I already have that figured out, we use helmets and earmuffs made out of "bounce" sheets. I would be happy just to get it into HF range for linear use, it still makes a great welder! To fix the WAF, you just have "spok" from star trek stick his fingers in the inputs, he mind melds with her saying "you need this" all done wirelessly, hey a new invention "pinktooth" it's a win win!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Caterpillar...07575135?pt=BI_Generators&hash=item43c167345fI have to look into alternative power sources. The welder isn't made specifically for 3 phase power, the numbers are all wrong, there has to be another way and I will find it. I'm envious of all the people with 3 wires on top of their telephone poles, like we have at work... More research! 3 phase generators are under $1000 on ebay. I know this one will run it!

That depends on how the protection circuit is made, typically the main limit in an SMPS is long therm thermal, it it actually possible to design a good audio SMPS with similar behavior as a 50/60hz transformer.

This is however not something easily done - but when it is done right it can be a very good solution from a size and weight point of view - investment in R&D is not competitive for low volumes.
