Ah wait:
"The LC oscillators were used as control pulse currents to the saturable inductors."

Maybe the LC oscillators WERE used to pulse the control coils. From the patent I see that it compresses the wave and makes it more akin to a pulse than a sine wave...interesting! Since saturable inductors are controlled using DC it makes sense that he was referring to the control coil windings and not using the LC oscillators to control the saturable inductors...

Ok, I have a 6AS7 tube, max current is about 125ma. Max volts is about 135, so I'm going be pulsing the coil with about 55 volts. The specification sheet did not mention what voltage I have to appy to the grid? Also what is the voltage on the grid in reference to?

Looking at tube circuits it appears that the output is attached to the B+/Plate voltage and the tube merely grounds it when the grid is energized. Across a coil that would be a dead short, is there supposed to be cap in between the coil and the B+ voltage to keep it from shorting?

Spherics, Harry12345,

If you are still around, I would like to get into contact with you. Please email me at apotential@hushmail.com

Chances are, you'll never read this, but if you do, please contact me, its important.

OK, here is the part I don't get,
if the problem of the original design
was that it ramped into overload,
and therefore had heat runaway.

Why aren't we, or why didn't he,
just make lemonade from lemons
and use liquid cooling to collect it ?

I see the runaway issue as a plus,
make electricity first,
and make heat too !

Am I the only one to see this ?
