The tank coils of real big transmitters are often water cooled! When you already have the water circuit to cool the tubes, it's not that much more effort. I guess you would need some coiled water hos

Ion pumps only work on existing vacuum, i.e., you cannot pump down a vacuum chamber or bottle from atmosphere with an ion pump alone. When a chamber is evacuated, there is always some residual gas re

Hi Tom, 10 to -6 or -7 sounds right to me. That would be easy enough to achieve in a vacuum tube. When I overheard the 70 Torr bit, the guy was reading from something, don't remember what... it was t

My footswitch is made by Heil (I believe). It has two separate leads for PTT keying: one for the rig and one for the amp. The amp is keyed first, then the rig, to avoid hot switching. Seems like a go

This presents an interesting question. When working under the hood of your car, it is recommended you disconnect the negative lead to the battery for safety. Why the negative lead? When you disconnec

With your basic FWD circuit essentially 2 capacitors, or 2 banks of capacitors, get alternately charged by a single transformer by 2 diode strings. The entire cap banks is then charged at a rate of 6

Thanks to all who responded to this thread. Though this scheme does work, it doesn't produce the same results. I didn't do the math the first time around. My two xfmrs are 1100 VAC. If I series the s

Thanks Bill, maybe Rex's idea is the way to go. Diodes are cheap and his idea would only require 2 more strings. Each xfmr should then only see half of the total voltage. Mike K6MDS -- ...Or you coul

When solid state relays fail, they fail in the shorted condition. One of their downfalls. Mike K6MDS Has anyone had problems using a solid state relay to short out the step start resistor in a power

Roger, your last line tells the story. If it fails shorted, it should be obvious by the fact that the equipment won't shut off. But a failure at some resistance would certainly set up a potential dan

At first I was suspicious of the 600ma Ip too. But if the amp is being pulsed tuned, the wattmeter on top might be reading peak power and the amp's analog meter reading average power. Note that the a

The point that Rich is making on his site is anything shiny can reflect radiated heat back to the tubes. The tubes are the source of heat. Some of this heat is conducted to the elements of the tube.
