When a bunched, megavolt electron beam was used, radiation at the watt level was easily produced with a simple dielectric Cherenkov cone that served simultaneously as an energy converter and radiator. Conditions were arranged to couple out all the Cherenkov radiation produced so that an accurate calculation of the power could be made by considering the simple problem of a beam passing through a hole in an infinite dielectric medium. A maximum of 0.3 w was obtained with an average beam current of 0.028 amp. (M.C.G.)
