- Season's Greetings To All: For those interested in variable inductors, there was an oldie but I think worth reviewing, that was a rotating shorted turn inside the winding. Old handbooks showed the co

- I think the most efficient variable inductor I have seen is one based on the "screwdriver" antenna. A coil is placed inside a copper tube of slightly larger diameter. At one end of the copper tube is

- I have a question, unless there is a "slit" cut down one side of this copper tube wouldn't it (the copper tube) also act as a shorted turn? Mark WB8JKR _______________________________________________

- It works fine in 50MHz amplifiers, with no noticeable heating in the shorted turn if it is made from continuous copper (eg a slice from a seamless tube, or a disk with a hole punched out). The shorte

- Various means are available to vary the inductance over a limited range - without resorting to a large rotary inductor. How about this for a suggestion. Amplifier is built with small value variable C

- Absolutely! If you don't slot the length of the metal tube near the active area of the coil there is a "shorted turn effect" that reduces Q and increases circulating currents. There is also a Q redu

- Variometers were used a lot in 500kHz marine tx's. The big problem with them is at minimum inductance, where Lt = L1 - L2 - 2M, but R is the same. The Q gets a bit abysmal if you want a wide range. A
