    What you're doing is so important. I really hope that SOMEONE young is learning from you. Society can not lose the Craftsmenship needed to make these tubes and things like them.
    The bottom line, you and everyone around you should be very proud of you and they should support your efforts.
    Thank you for what you do.

      This is crazy cool stuff. I am a chemical engineer and I learned some glass blowing and I am in the process of setting up my own glassblowing shop. I designed and built my own surface mix torches which are necessary for this stuff. I need to find a book on how to do this . I guess the theory is straightforward but the techniques are so intricate.

      @@dennycote6339 I am starting a YT channel with a podcast series on starting a gourmet and medicinal mushroom business here in Delaware. I am going to intersperse videos on making a laminar torch for glass blowing that rivals even the best out there. It is a lot of work however the result is incredible. This will also include the building of a glass lathe. Not only that but I am starting a garage that specializes in pre WWI race cars similar to my friend Matt Pumphrey's channel woody's and wheels which is on the other coast. In addition to all this I am building a 1928 Morgan /MG special three wheeler with 4 wheels. It is a hillclimb car and there is only one in existence so I am making a faithful recreation with my own special mechanicals such as brakes and an MG 4 speed transmission and a BMW opposed twin as the front power plant..

      Что такое ислам?
      🔴 Ислам - это не просто еще одна религия
      🔵 Это же послание проповедовали Моисей, Иисус и Авраам.
      🔴 Ислам буквально означает «покорность Богу».
      🔵 и учит нас иметь прямые отношения с Богом.
      🔴 Это напоминает нам, что с тех пор, как Бог создал нас, никому нельзя поклоняться, кроме одного Бога.
      🔵 Он также учит, что Бог не похож на человека или что-либо, что мы можем вообразить.
      🔴 Концепция Бога кратко изложена в Коране как:
      { Скажи: «Он - Аллах Единый,. Аллах Самодостаточный. Он не родил и не был рожден,. и нет никого равного Ему».}
      (Коран, 112:1-4)
      🔵 Стать мусульманином - это не повернуться спиной к Иисусу.
      🔴 Скорее, это возвращение к изначальным учениям Иисуса и повиновение ему...

    A completely fascinating video - and such big triodes! Mostly this is a lost art and there are fewer and fewer of us still alive who remember when these devices were are the heart of electronics. How, inside a glass envelope, you had to send in enough current to cause a filament go glow brilliantly without releasing trapped gasses which would ruin the thermionic effect. Hence all the careful chemical cleaning and, later, heating to release as much trapped contamination as possible before sealing up the entire glass envelope forever. And then, as a last trick, to coat the inside glass with a thin film of active metal to "get" the last remaining impurities.
    There were thousands of different types of electronic tube and, if you own an old radio, you can still find the exact working tube on ebay to bring it back to life. Unfortunately, thermionic tubes don't last forever because, eventually, enough gas leaks in to cause them to fail. One day soon all those old radios will be silent.
    Thank you P&C for this wonderful video - as people are saying, you are an artist!

    • @whatevernamegoeshere3644
      @whatevernamegoeshere3644 2 роки тому

      That's a heat exchanger of some sort. You have an aluminium body with a continuous pipe welded on and run a coolant or heating liquid in it so the temperature under the bell would be controlled. My guess in on annealing there. Not exactly sure what they used that for in this specific case but it's for setting an exact temp. EDIT: Looking at it closer, the pipes aren't connected. They just used it as a vacuum bell for the oven.

    I saw something beautiful in glass when I was about 10 years old. In 1964 I became fascinated with electronics at the age of 12. A couple years later I wished I could make a vacuum tube (a triode... just a very basic one that would oscillate) knowing of the swarm of electrons inside the tube. You are living my dream more than I could ever have imagined!
    I always though metal vacuum tubes were a disappointment - I wanted to see the tube alive. Transistors are wonderful but a visual disappointment. I can't tell you how happy I am to see you making actual commercial quality vacuum tubes!
