Fascinating, but the infrastructure involved to both power and cooling such an intense LED makes this pretty much impractical. The water cooled mounting plate system can be done with RF Plasma Generator water cooled heatsinks. The one I've seen for 13MHz, 6kW, modual should be enough. Lambda, I believe, makes an adjustable DC industrial power supply that can deliver enough power with ease. However, you are talking multi-thousands of dollars of gear just to do that.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
