A Direct-Coupled 6V6 Tube Amplifier with Cathode Follower by Raymond H. Bates from Radio & Television News magazine November 1949.. -
Using a K-12 tube amp with a NAD C542 CD player, there is no need for a buffer or line level preamplifier. The K-12 is a very polite and sweet amp with all the warmth of it`s "hot bottle" heritage. However, when I compare the K-12 with my monoblock chip amps.... -
One of the advantages of hosting a hobby website is that you meet people through email who have similar interests as you. Ever since we posted Bruce`s first OddWatt project on the site I have communicated with a number of DIY hobbyists who have built the.... -
Last year I built and reviewed the low cost Oatley Electronics K272 Tube Stereo Headphone Amplifier Kit. In conversation with Oatley Electronics (located in New South Wales Australia), they told me that the kit became very popular and sold pretty much all.... -
Oatley Electronics in New South Wales Australia makes a few kits based around the Raytheon JAN 6418 sub-miniature valve (tube). I decided to try out the $27AU K272A Stereo Tube Preamplifier - Headphone Driver kit. [Note - the K272 has been replaced with the.... -
This past summer I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and I was inspired to build an enclosure for a vacuum tube amplifier that incorporated the Decepticon logo. The tube amplifier replaces a solid-state amplifier which was driven by a tube.... -
The PCB for this amplifier can be purchased from Spare Time Gizmos for $16US. In a single afternoon you can have the whole board assembled and dropped into a chassis of your choice. The value and type of component is laid-out in the parts list. But what I.... -
that used a SRPP (shunt-regulated PP) driver stage I started to do some research and modeling on a SRPP. The advantages of such a line stage are much the same as those when a SRPP is used as a driver. Good linearity, low distortion, low impedance output,.... -
This project is related to the other tube amplifier projects I have posted. It has more than a casual similarity to the first Push-Pull EL84 (6BQ5) Oddwatt project from nearly two years ago. Both tube amplifier projects use EL84 / 6BQ5 tubes and the earlier.... -
This is a project that I always wanted to do, but managed to put off for a long time. It has been over a year in the doing. Partly because there are so many good phono preamps in existence and I was slightly concerned that it was beyond my design skills. It.... -
The main amplifying stages are triode connected 6088 stages. As indicated from the previous part, there are two amplifying stages. This provides a non-inverted input to output connection, as well as sufficient gain to incorporate tone control. The tone.... -
This report describes the operation and adjustment of a Phase Locked Loop hum cancellation circuit that can be used to reduce the residual hum from any amplifier. Normally this is useful for DHT amplifiers with AC operated filaments, as even with a hum.... -
Note that I have separated the PWM Output section into the upper left corner with a heavy purple line that is bridged by the jumper JP1 on the APM2. 0. This is to emphasize that diode D1 passes current through JP1 (and drops voltage). The remaining energy is.... -
Here a video of a test flight of my Quad Rotor Observer (QRO) v8 with the FCWii board and the Wii Motion Plus (gyroscopes) + Nunchuk (accelerometers) MEMS... -
I am continuing to add DIY equipment to my home workshop. Audio oscillator is a very useful tool that is needed when we test audio projects. I already have a similar tool but it is just an oscillator without a frequency counter. I decided to use the.... -
This system is used to distribute IR commands around your house. This is useful if you have A/V equipment in one room that you want control from several other rooms. This project uses one Microchip PIC 16F877 to do all the work. The firmware is written in.... -
Diploma Final Year Project represents the culmination of our learning process, where it is a must to put into use from previously learned engineering and personal skills. The assessment has a major influence on decisions regarding readiness to graduate. This.... -
My smoke machine heater block has broken so I bought a new one, however I removed the old heater block ages ago and I cant remember what cables go where, I have attached a picture of my smoke machine in hope that someone can help me. The only difference.... -

Argon and krypton (rare gas) ion lasers find applications in many diverse fields including (1) very high performance printing, copying, scanning, typesetting, photoplotting, and image generation; (2) forensic medicine, general and ophthalmic surgery; (3).... -
This chapter provides detailed schematics of a variety of power supplies suitable for use with the common Ar/Kr ion tubes available to the hobbyist on the surplus market. Included are examples of commercial designs (Omnichrome 150R and 532 head, Lexel 88 and.... -
The copper chloride (CuCl) and copper bromide (CuBr) lasers are variations of the copper vapor laser. The Cu vapor laser runs at a high temperature of around 1, 100 °C and is driven with a high voltage pulse, usually at a repetition rate of 8 to 10 kHz. Its.... -
Dye lasers are unique in that they are a class of lasers whose lasing medium is a liquid. Depending on the particular dye used, output can be at a wide range of wavelengths spanning the visible spectrum and beyond. Commercial dye lasers are often pumped by.... -
The nitrogen (N2) laser produces intense extremely short (a few ns) intense (100 kW typical) pulses of light in the near UV portion of the E/M spectrum (337. 1 nm being the dominent line). Despite this impressive capability, the N2 laser is among the easiest.... -
This chapter contains circuit diagrams for several power supplies for pulsed solid state lasers. These include units suitable for driving the popular Hughes ruby and YAG rangefinder laser assemblies as well, one using the flash from a disposable pocket.... -
Even the energy storage capacitors in even the smallest disposable camera flash operating from a 1. 5 V AA battery can be deadly under the wrong conditions. Line powered devices - even little ones - may have an added danger of high power at high voltage AND.... -
In this picture is everything you will need to make a self running power supply. The input is a 12vdc 7ah lead acid or gel cell battery (not shown). The input goes to a 12vdc to 120vac inverter of about 200 watts more or less, it is not critical as long as.... -
a Pierce "aperiodic" oscillator driving a non-neutralized power amplifier for a multiband Morse code transmitter that requires just one coil and minimum adjustment. And then one day you happen to unplug the oscillator tube only to find that it still works!.... -
A classic amateur radio transmitter topology, the oscillator-amplifier (sometimes called master oscillator, power amplifier, or MOPA), used one tube for frequency control and another for RF power amplification, and in quartz-crystal-controlled form commonly.... -
By taking advantage of certain characteristics of superhet action not normally used, it is possible with one pair of coils to cover both the 80- and 40-meter ham bands as well as ranges where commercial point-to-point c. w. and shortwave broadcast signals.... -
It uses a 6GW8 triode-pentode in an oscillator-amplifier design that combines a curious misapplication of oscillator fundamentals with insufficient attention paid to issues of amplifier stability. The result is a transmitter that shouldnot be duplicated and....

The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,.... -
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the.... -
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power.... -
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
