Come on Bill. No weasel words like "Tesla Effect". That doesn't prove
anything at all. Just describe a schematic showing what you are
claiming with values and I will be glad to simulate it. I certainly
don't mind being wrong especially if I learn something in the process.
This stuff is not that complicated and I'm sure others beside myself
could learn something with an accurate simulation.
What is wrong with simulating a tube as a current source in parallel
with a resistance? The output matching network translates the desired
50 ohm output to approximately the tube resistance resulting in maximum
power output. Obviously any parallel impedance represented by the plate
choke does affect the output matching values. This circuit does not
allow Qs to be high enough to cause the plate choke to smoke with the
ease you claim.
