Modern large CRT displays
draw considerably more than that from the mains.
Well, a carefully designed and wound 60 cycle transformer could do this,
perhaps with a doubler or tripler on the output side. The secondary would
have to be wound pi style to handle the potentials involved.
You're funny. Hahahahaha... Sure...
Yeh that would be some tripler!!

Guess again.
Several kilowatts are usually involved in the horizontal scan of a large
screen tv. A special switching circuit first fills the deflection coil
with positive current for the right half of the sweep, resonates it for
a half cycle on retrace, and then returns the energy as a negative
deflection coil current for the left half of the sweep.
The energy is borrowed and returned to the power supply storage
capacitors. Only the small coil losses need be provided by the power
line. And nobody notices the few initial scans needed to get up to speed.
This is an extremely elegant energy efficiency conservation scheme that
has been in use for many decades. I first described it in a 1965 story.
"Liquid cooling?" Which make and model are going on about. I have seen theAncient_Hacker said:joseph2k wrote:
I think you're thinking of an oscilloscope, where the beam currents are
very low, as you are only painting one line, and with a high-efficiency
phosphor, and no shadow mask.
In a TV-set type of CRT, the poor beam has to scan the whole screen,
and on a color set, a lot of the current ends up caught by the shadow
mask. A milliamp or two is more like it.
Projection CRT's use even higher current-- that's why they need liquid
cooling and heat sinks.
Try again.

guts of scores of projector TV sets and high resolution displays (up to
3200 x 2400) as well; damn few even had a fan, the rest are convection
cooled.
And you are an idiot. So?

Since you didn't disagree with anything I put in the posting to which

that wasn't there.
