Something new and exciting has arrived in the post - De-boxing and testing the Vacuum Variable Capacitor ultimately destined for experiments with magnetic loops.
With that much voltage you might want something non-conductive to turn it. It might also be good to have some type of position indicator so you know approximate value between uses. It will be an interesting project. 73
The current (no phun intended) plan is to use 2GT pulleys and belt to separate the actuator from the capacitor. The actuator should also drive a threaded rod so I have some way of activate limit switches and facilitate homing.
The plan (or maybe I should say hope) is to make it into a remotely operated tuning device for magnetic loops, but make it connect/disconnect loops so I can use it for experimentation. The first loop I'm planning is a 10m to 20m loop made from insulated 12mm copper pipe... We'll see 🙂

Great project, and great video! Is this for the coax that you got from me?
