RF Safety Chokes


I spent the last few days winding and varnishing the RF Chokes. It took a long time and was kind of foreshadowing winding the secondary's later on. They each have about 0.72mH of inductance.

Update 2


Over the past few days we have been doing a variety of different things.

Firstly we did more work to the most complicated wooden structure we are going to make, the control board.



I also soldered the voltage doubler circuit, however the diodes can not handle the incredibly high current so I have ordered some stronger ones.



Next I marked out where everything was going to go inside the control cabinet.



Finally I planned where all the wood structures would be placed when the coil is to be activated. It also allowed me to see how much conduit I needed.
