Tubes?

[turbo]

Here is the setup in it's simplest form ,the way i connected it.
Now i cannot see current flow in that secondary transformer.
So either i am doing something wrong,missing something, or it is just not right.

That's because the circuit is not correct if you want full wave rectification. The centre-tap must be used on the plate transformer. Here are two examples of the correct connection; one tube, one SS.

Guys, is it possible to get spikes just from 2 transformers and nothing else (being fed with a smooth sinusoid)?

If we use tubes, switches, etc, then it's definitely possible.

Do you guys remember Dave's 3 transformer setup that was fed with a squre wave?  That was kind of interesting.

@em

if you caould get them with 2 why not with 1 transformer and nothing else i dont think you can get kicks with just a transformer but if you add a spark gap or a magnetic spark gap you will have  more kicks than you could imagine but they are irugular so to mix them would be diffucult in my opinion

is

perhaps i will try and see if i can get kicks this way


em the more i think about it how about this we might be able to achive spikes from 3 transformers by putting the out put of the first to the input of the next and some where along the way spikes may ocour from the distortion with in the transformers hummm

does that sound posible sounds like the harmonics from 1 may colide with the harmonics of another hummm....

anyone any ideas where i should start with the tube i have ? the the 6bq7a tube

want to start playing around with it

ideas?
