Red Hot Technology! - Vacuum Tubes Explained

Let's face it, vacuum tubes are just plain seductive in a way that transistors can never be. That warm glow, the lethal voltages, it all seems like magic. Join Greg Latta, AA8V, as he takes a deep dive into vacuum tube technology and history, following the electrons on their space flight from cathode to plate, and explains what the heck is going on with all those grids.

I'm in my 70s and took tubes for granted and the transition to solid-state. I'd use it to RCA manual to gather information to help me maintain my gear but never went into the in depth look at a vacuum tube, that you presented in your lecture. You've reminded me that the more I learn the more I find I don't know. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm.

Thanks for the great explanation of tubes, I think I learned more about tubes from this than I ever have, you got right to the point and explained it well.

Thank you, nobody has ever so clearly explained this subject to me. Just retired and hope to spend my time rebuilding my collection of tube radios.. (AA 5’s) I will be following your channel and learning.👍👍

Great stuff....i need to get an amplifier made for producing healing frequencies at high voltages and Vac tubes are perfect for it. Unfortunately my knowledge of circuits is very basic.

people need to know that when you buy electronics today buy a boat in 3 years because thats all you get
