Over unity vacuum tube technology

[antimony]

I have recently ordered a bunch of different size electron tubes because i was originally studying the EU theory, and what the SAFIRE project have put out.
That in turn reminded me of the the Pulsed Abnormal Glow Plasma technology that Correa have patented.

What Correa and the Safire project use are large vacuum chambers, and vacuum tubes are sort of small vacuum chambers, so I wanted to ask is:
I havent found any, but have anybody here heard of an overunity device that uses vacuum tubes?

Thanks in advance

I have worked with vacuum tubes for over 50 years.  They are NOT OU devices.  The problem is for newcomers to electronics they mix up the concept of signal amplification with power amplification.  They are NOT the same thing.  A vacuum tube can amplify signals but NOT power.  The vacuum tube allows a small voltage signal to control a higher voltage to produce a larger signal.  But YOU have to supply the higher voltage from your power supply.  There are tutorials online that can explain how vacuum tubes and transistors work.  They both can amplify signals but neither can amplify power.

Hi Carroll, long time. Hope you are doing ok.

I am right now building my first VT project, a really basic VT Tesla Coil, and i am learning alot. I know how transistors and vacuum tubes work, but at the same time i don´t really know how they really work, if you know what i mean.
I am really not super firmiliar with tubes yet, so i know my question sounds stupid, but what i was thinking was that if there were some sort of effect, like electron field emission for example, that could be tapped.

What do you think about the EU theory and the Correa nventions?

Hello antimony,

I am doing fine.  Thanks for asking.  I hope you are doing well also.  I am not familiar with either of those subjects.  Do you have a link or two where I can study about them.

I'll see if I can find some links for vacuum tube theory and operation.  They really are not that mysterious.  What is really neat is to see an electron beam welder in operation.  It is like a giant vacuum tube that uses the electron beam to weld two pieces of metal together.  It makes a beautiful and almost perfect weld that is so small you can barely see the welding seam.  Although the seam is very narrow the weld penetrates deep into the metal.

Take care,
Carroll

Yeah, i am doing fine. I have my hands full right now as i will be a dad again in just within 2 weeks, so it can be any day now, so that is pretty stressful.

I have never even heard of an electron beam welder.   I wll check it out.

Btw, i had an idea if it would be possible to make a vacuum tube AV plug, do you think?

For Correa, here is a lnk that has all their patents, and all that. http://ww.aetherometry.com/ It is really interesting stuff.

And here s a lnk to the SAFIRE project: http://safireproject.com/
