[sdiy] Passive ringmod at higher power

[harrybissell]

Maybe not 'quite' right...

with lower impedance transformers, and diodes capable of higher
currents and much larger current available from the X source... it could

be higher power.

It would be ineffecient, likely... at high power. You'd need buffer amps

to drive it, etc... and the voltage in the ring portion has to stay very
low...
but the current could be high.  Before you go there.. the idea that the
circuit
requires 'no external power' will be kind of moot. You'll need LOTS of
power
at that point. Drive with a stereo amp perhaps ?  The ring section will
take no
power but the amp sure will.

At that point, you'd want an active ring mod (or passive) follwed by a
buffer amp.
Cheaper and better

(how much power did you WANT anyway ???   :^)
