SP168 in recovery - Rob on cloud 9!

[stanwax]

That's what I'm talkin bout! Now we will need videos of all the beam shows you have.

Fook me man ya dont want much!!!
I do have a little bit of footage shot specially 4 U
Will put it up for your pleasure shortly

Oh man!

My thoughts exactly - it makes all the hours of toil and heartache dissolve from memory

What lines are you getting out of this?

There are usual argons of 458(weak) 476 488 496 501 (these 2 are weak as well) 514 and of course that lovely Krypton 647 I have the blues tied together (476 488 458)

Fantastic!

I know!

I bet the beam quality is untouchable too!

Perfect real tight and all lines the same so no near/far field issues to worry or care about

Yes I am pretty damned happy

Those pics of the beam are breth takingly crisp. Just one question. In the first pic between white and red you seem to be able to create a sort of grey colour. Or is it just an illusion? Anyway fantastic to see it in full operation for the first time for me since joining PL.

Very nice work, Rob! Glad to see you got it working again. C'mon now, you know you want to drag that thing to SELEM!

edit-Question, how are you running that thing? 3phase isn't standard in England, is it?!

I would love to come and see you boys but the SP is staying firmly in this country - though it has had an excursion to Australia before I owned it.
Power is 1ph the 265 was converted/modded by the previous owner. Its a bit senestive to volts but is OK

Yes Carl it is an optical illusion that is in the abstracts bit of Pango LD and the colour is refered to as Rainbow2 + grey! Its odd cos you know it cant work but it does!
Get ready to see it in 2 weeks time

Oh I figured it would be a bit much to ship that thing around. We'd always love to have you join us at SELEM, with or with the ion!

The 1ph 265 sounds interesting. Do you know what was done to mod it for single phase?

[James Lehman]

In the colors (ummm.... colours) I see in your beams, are we looking at some pure lines? Looks like the red and green are. Is that cyan pure 488? What about the blue and the violet?

What are you using to split them out; a PCAOM? Fill us in.

Not entirely - theres a couple o big F'off electrolyics in the underside of it that shouldnt be there
Otherwise I dunno.

Link for a spot of video - just for Aaron - just dubbed a tune on for the hellovit

what,,,single phase,how??,i would like to be enlightened with this.
As for being voltage sensitive ,in what ways?

Oh yes the colours (ummm....colors)are pure for green and red, cyan is green & all the blue lines and the others are just controlled with the software (Pango LD) and yes its a neos 8ch PCAOM but only controling red green and all blue lines tied.

Somehow, with caps and or coils, you need to create a whopping high power phase shift that matches the impedance of the whole system. Nice trick! I wonder if it works at 50Hz! Was it originally two or three phase?
