Vacuum tube audio amplifiers are finding their way into high-end home theater applications, vacuum tubes have much higher dynamic energy, for an example a vacuum tube amplifier that's rated for 15 watts has a dynamic energy of 75 watts.
Thank you Coil Labs I looked literally for about 2 hours and 50 different search terms for any schematic on this coil after seeing it. Nothing! You are a gentleman genius and scholar for sharing not only OG plans but your own secret formulas too. Awesome man keep this up that thing is brutal 👏 👍
Thank you! Yeah, this is a really obscure topic. I'm still a novice at this compared some other people out there though. My design technically works, but it's far from as good as it could be. But I'm still satisfied with the results. Getting something like this to work at all was a big challenge itself.
awesome!! ...honestly i kinda prefer the DC version, also i dunno why but carbon electrodes fizzle too much, it apparently burns anyways, i settled with the acorn nut
If you took the carbon from a battery you have to heat the rod with a blow torch or similar to drive out all the absorbed chemicals.. acorn nuts are great at low power but melt at higher power, even the carbon rods evaporate on my larger coils 😅
@@T2D.SteveArcs "you have to heat the rod with a blow torch or similar to drive out all the absorbed chemicals" ...did that! made the carbon rod white hot but it still fizzles on the coil, probably at higher powers the mess is too much and it's unnoticeable.. but you're saying that it evaporates so it's probably the same thing
@@CoilLabs Seriously, that circuit is as you put it, extremely delicate and so I don't think people who've never worked in analog understand just how awesome it is that it's working so good O_O (Not being sarcastic)
Yeah, I went through several iterations to get it working even as well as I did. I know it can be improved a lot still, but just getting it working at all is an accomplishment to me. And yeah, some of the others are who styro learned from for his build as well. Not a lot of info on these circuits out there though.
@@CoilLabs I really appreciate the time you put into this video, well worth it!! I'm just about to go subscribe to those channels, crashed before I could yesterday XD I'm excited to see the next video updates :D -Dave
Awesome video Nick 😎 good work and thanks for the shout out. Much appreciated.
Steve
Thanks man! Watching your videos and chatting with you about this was a big help.
@@CoilLabs any time mate 👍👍👍👍👍

Well, well, well, look who's back! Awesome project Nick, can't wait to see more!
Thanks Zach!

This channel is solid and has a great topic. I hope you get more subs and keep up the amazing videos!
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
underrated channel

@@PosthumanKindergarten yeah probably 😅 we need a better material 😅😅
It doesn't evaporate fast but it definitely wares down over a few runs and I have to keep re sharpening the point
I like your videos btw 😎👍 I like the use of the glass bottles for coil forms etc and I liked how you used a pick up capacitor right near the flame 👍
Come back coil labs..
New project is in the works! It's gonna be a big one.
@@CoilLabs excited ❤️
That was awesome dude!
Thanks man!

Until you mentioned the other channels, styro was the other person I've seen do this successfully.

Wow can’t believe u did this
Can we do this on magnets?
Not sure I understand what you're asking.
Wow why are you so late to post a video
Busy with work and a lot of things. Takes a lot of time to build these projects and produce these videos.
Looks amazing :D
