Circlotron

Paul Speltz wrote a very interesting white paper on the operation of the circlotron that was available on the defunct ASOG website. According to his argument (based on actual experimental measurements), the Atma-sphere circlotron can go more into Class A than one would calculate by the standard method you have applied above. I am struggling to reconstruct his findings in my head, but I can't recall the gist of it at this moment. If the ASOG Tweaks section is available anywhere, you might be interested. Paul is a very smart, thoughtful guy and has no ax to grind one way or the other. But you are correct in general that the circlotron will eventually end up in Class B at the top of the power curve.
