Interesting that it happens to be the harmonic frequency of oxygen. For these power levels it is probably fine but something to keep in mind. | ||||||||

That band is often chosen _because_ of the absorption band of oxygen. Significant attenuation at those frequencies means it limits range, allowing for higher frequency reuse and less interference over a greater area. | ||||||||

If you’re worried about things exploding or something, don’t worry. Unless you were exciting a fuel/air mixture up to the combustion point you have nothing to worry about. So that would take a deliberate change to the chemical makeup of the air and much much much higher transmit power levels. But I guess you should be careful if you are trying to modify this into an RF pulse welder and someone left their cutting torch gas cylinders venting nearby. </s> |
