Just curious, can you tell me his name? We have some Thermex Thermatron RF welders as well. Ours are 27 Mhz and 45 kw. We use them to weld the plastic on those unopenable blister packs that you buy all kinds of electronic stuff in. Just curious as to who it was, if it is someone I have worked with. I am an RF Engineer and do Cell Phones for a living and I always get a kick out of that fake video of people popping pop corn with 4 cell phones. That one scared so many a few years ago and it is all fake.
