[ARC5] 800 HZ Power: Theoretical Question

[David Stinson]

Theoretical Question:
Goal: Simple, *quiet* answer to the 800Hz
question.

You begin with an unknown inductance with a 
link-coupled output. (Like transformers).

Drive the inductance with a powerful Class-C 
amplifier, sourcing pulses at freq F.

Make the unknown inductance the PA's "tank,"
introducing tank capacitance to bring the
"tank" into resonance at F, causing the tank to
"ring" and provide a sine-wave output.

Rectify the sine-wave output as a DC power source.


So....
Rectify line AC.  Heavy-Current MOSFET pulses
the GP or TBW power transformers at 800 Hz.
"Tank" capacitor across the transmitter 
primaries resonates and allows the transformers
to "ring."  Ringing transformers output 
the voltage and away we go.

Will it work?
