    🔥Homemade AM radio based on vacuum tubes and a regenerative coil configuration. It uses 2P2 tubes and it has low power output but it works and we can receive AM radio channels. Learn how it works, see the schematic and test it out.

    I really love tube circuits. One of these days I'll get around to finishing the tube amp that I was making with magic eye tubes to show the levels on the two channels. I don't really need it, but I have very fond memories of a radio my grandparents had that used magic eye meters that I was absolutely fascinated with as a kid. There's not of devices left these days with those style of level meters that are still working or reasonably restorable, but the magic eye tubes are all over eBay fortunately.

    A lot valves use transformers in the audio output which might account for low volumes. Just a thought. Great to see you try out things that take you into new areas.

    In this style of radio the iron core is the directional antenna, so it would make sense that you touching it will help with gain.
    The audio output of these circuits are typically high impedance at least 2k ohm or higher. If you were to use a crystal radio earpiece without the transformer you may have had better results. Or earbuds after the transformer would have worked as well.
    The 3 tube set will allow you to drive a speaker

    @mbak7801 2 роки тому

    You could use 3 PP3 batteries taking the supply up to 27v. Also check the load impedance of the 2P2 and the turns ratio of the transformer and see what impedance speaker you will need. Using the wrong speaker can really mess things up as well. All in all it looks an interesting start for experimentation.

  • @Pulverrostmannen
    @Pulverrostmannen 2 роки тому +1

    I think the device would work better if you ran it with more than 9 volts, since tubes are high impedance devices they will work poor with low voltage plus you get very little power out of it as well which tend to distort. too bad in my country AM radio is not available at all so it is pretty much useless here

    • @ELECTRONOOBS
      @ELECTRONOOBS  2 роки тому +2

      I will try. I've used them at 12V but I was afraid with more than that since the schematic was marked as 9V. Thanks!

    • @Pulverrostmannen
      @Pulverrostmannen 2 роки тому +2

      @@ELECTRONOOBS as long as your capacitors are rated for the voltage these DL92 tubes are rated for a maximum plate voltage of 90 volts. And the G2 grid should not exceed 67 volts so the tubes have a good headroom upwards. However does these tubes have a very small output with a maximum of about 270 milliwatt at absolute most so you won’t get much. However is the power increasing with the voltage. But check that your resistors are suitable for the increased voltage so that the led and other stuff won’t take damage. Otherwise you could probably safely go up to 60 volts without any issues :)

It’s better to use tubes that glows much to begin with instead ;) that we all like to watch! Nothing like 500 volts feeding tubes glowing with red hot cathodes. Omg I like that!
