3 Foot antenna on the trunk emits corona discharge. The audio you hear is not bleed over in the camera, its the fire modulating and acting as a speaker.

    Молодцы. только супортная труба должна бытьфиксированой в верхней точке, а не плавающая, и тогда сварка у основании не требуется. на 12 метрах удобно 3 уровня оттяжек.

    Обязательно нужно фиксировать две оттяжки на “падающей”!!!
    И думайте о том, кто стоит под мачтой!!! В это раз просто повезло…

    ROFLMAO & LOL, nice video of the talking flame with a CB. So what power were you running to that thing? I am sure the FCC would love to hear from you for making such a good fire starter.

    Ahh, okay. I thought you were on a CB channel, and not the 10 meter phone band, as you are. Oops.

    Sick curiosity: what’s the SWR there?

    It is not BS, all you need is a powerful enough radio (I think you can get this starting at the 50 to 100W mark as corona, flames take at least a couple hundred watts), and an antenna that is not rated for the power level or a really high SWR. Funny to look at but enough doing this may cause damage to the transceiver, and you will sound like crap on the air. I dare someone to grab it when the radio is keyed on TX (antenna thief getting nailed by that would be hilirious).

    Exactly! SWR is about 2.5 to 1. The wire seems to melt at about 1cm every minute of use approximately. The amp used to do this is a TX-800, 1×2290 x 4×2879, about 400 watts carrier on AM.

    About 400 watts is required to start the flame. I have to go to AM to allow for the audio to be heard, to modulate the flame. PEP power is probably around 800 watts or so.

    Now is the camera Mic recording that audio through talk back? or is the radio bleeding into the audio circuts of the camera??
