Todd Sharp is surrounded by a mountain of guitar amps. But he’s quick to say some of them are better than others. “That’s kind of my motto here: Life is too short to play shitty amps,” he said with a ...
LONDON — Ideas of how to exploit miniaturized vacuum tubes have emerged regularly and without much success, since the glass-envelope valve was replaced for most applications by the transistor. However ...
Although we do often see projects that take antiques and replace some or all of their components with modern equipment, we can also sympathize with the view that (when possible and practical) certain ...
If you’ve ever wondered why something like a radio or a TV could command a hefty fraction of a family’s yearly income back in the day, a likely culprit is the collection of power transformers needed ...
Researchers have developed a vacuum tube prototype that is both fast and tough against radiation, making it ideal for computers in space. Researchers have developed a vacuum tube prototype that is ...
DARPA-funded researchers recently demonstrated the world’s smallest vacuum pumps. This breakthrough technology may create new national security applications for electronics and sensors that require a ...
The transistor revolutionized the world and made the abundant computing we now rely on a possibility, but before the transistor, there was the vacuum tube. Large, hot, power hungry, and prone to ...
For most electrical engineers, the vacuum tube or, more formally, the vacuum electron device (VED), is a quaint curiosity and artifact of the past, and with good reason: The world of solid-state ...
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has snarled the supply chain for many products. WAMC’s Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief Lucas Willard reports on how some local retailers are dealing with a shortage in ...
