Vacuum Tube: How Does It Work? (Part 1)

[mah0aga]

Fantastic video...Adnan Arduman is truly an audiophile with a sound knowledge.

[improvised440]

@mah0aga Thank you very much. Happy New Year!

[TheRedneckAtheist]

It's astonishing that tech from 100 years ago makes a better sounding amp than the most current solid state crap!

[whatuwantmom]

@TheRedneckAtheist makes a better amp than ANY speaker with digital equipment in it.

[mrdenisfly]

is that hendrix at the beginning?

[cenoa]

güzel olmus Adnan Bey, elinize sağlık.

[atco21117]

You make it easy to understand the technology. Thanks - Atco

[Buuttcc]

I hope you are a Teacher because you really can teach. I really like the way you explain everything. Thanks!

[TheXeroxis1]

2 persons had a brain explosion! nice vid

[brucey39]

excellent 

[amonnaheadbutcha]

I love vacuum tubes.

[clayphish]

Nice Kalimba behind you and nice Lecture!! The best one I've heard on this topic!

[tomtoe]

Fantastic, Thanks.

[thrillahboi]

excellent contribution to disgruntled students worldwide. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[vamtim]

Very good video!!

Thank you so much!

[BeavisNacho]

Once these things catch on, transistors will be a thing of the past !! (lol)

So, what kind of gas do they use in these?

...Excellent explanation, i will watch part 2 now....

LMAO @ BlackAngusYoung :-)

[vamtim]

@BeavisNacho

No gas they work in a vacuum.

[robu217]

thanks

[aavallone]

best vacuum tube video I've ever seen

[improvised440]

@aavallone Thank you very much.

[bornburied]

@aavallone fuck no, painfully awkward perhaps he would've faired better in his native language.

[aavallone]

@bornburied I disagree, this is a very good go-to video for vaccum tubes on youtube.

[Flashtone08]

humans are amazing!

[cjmarsh504]

Some of your high end hi-fi audio companies still uses vacuum tubes like Mcintosh.

[Mushketer888]

probably the best video about tubes

[improvised440]

@Mushketer888 Thank you very much!!!

[theyaredeadnow]

awesome video! this video helped me alot good expalanation :)

[theyaredeadnow]

[hydrolisk1792]

Wow, that was very informative. Had a tube next to me while you were explaining.

[Joshfairhead]

Thank you so much for this video... Can you perhaps explain why a vacuum tube generates a specific harmonic response and how?

For instance its known't that they exhibit a strong second harmonic followed by a 3rd 4th and 5th at reduced levels, can you answer why this series occurs rather than say that of an op amp (which produces only odd harmonics)?

How is this reflected upon a waveform? it cant be as simple as compression since the harmonics are set rather than randomised, maybe phase? How?

[yellowmetalcyborg]

Nice job!



[ukeoiler10]

thanks so much for these videos, learned a lot.

[ScorchinBeats]

Damn I love vacuum tubes in my guitar amps :D

[xzibit2313]

This video is so easy to understand

so in a triode vs a transistor

the grid = a base

the anode = the collector

the cathode = a emitter

[tim0090]

@xzibit2313

i wish it were that simple! ;)

[silvermediastudio]

@xzibit2313 Yes, in terms of "black box" functionality. That said, regarding actual mechanics, the semiconductor structure that is most analogous to a vacuum tube thermionic valve triode is the JFET (source-collector-drain).

[tubesrule1227]

I love el 84

[0manager0]

i still dont get if a 20 watt amp can power a 2.0 Channel B&W 685 speakers

[singaporerock]

whats the song in the beginning? it sounds like hendrix

[themusiciansedge1]

@singaporerock It is! it's called Little Miss Lover!

[singaporerock]

@themusiciansedge1 thanks a lot!! jimi hendrix is my favorite guitarist of ALL time

[ElectronicsIsFun]

Great explanation. I also have a passion for vacuum tubes and I am designing and building a Class A 5W stereo amplifier. Anyone interested in Vacuum Tubes will gain a clear understanding from your video.

[idwtsasoj]

So, you expected him to be shit because he Russian/Eastern Europe even though Russia used to invest huge amounts into reasearch during both czarist and communist eras.

[LesaCar1]

Despite your accent troubles you managed to make an excellent educational video.

THANKS!!

[bestamerica]

'

old vacuum tube is always HOT,,,

today no more need tube

[alaska3333]

excellent presentation!

[skullscraper]

Thank you so much for making the effort to explain this on camera. I found the analogy very easy to understand, despite having no technical backround.

Your efforts towards educating others are highly appreciated.

[patsaxon]

Good video! In electronics courses that I have taken was strictly solid state diodes as the school would not cover vacuum tubes. I am into repairing electronic musical instruments as guitar amps still use vacuum tubes, as well as older organs and Leslie speakers.

[hrbear]

Are these TUNG-SOL tubes a chinese brand? They look of high quality.

[AverageMr]

Tung-Sol was based in Newark, NJ and is long gone. The name was purchased by New Sensor Corporation in New York, but the tubes are made in China and Eastern Europe.

[davidkahan]

@6:57. I think you omit one factor about the grid which is the distance you put it from the cathode. The electric field is expressed in V/m so if distance is smaller, V/m is higher and you get more aplification. in other words if you put the grid too close of the anode you get little effect at all. Great vids anyway .

[hrbear]

@davidkahan Very nice comment. Yes I remember it from the physics too Volt/meter.

[nickeax]

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this so well to us!

PS I knew this was going to be good when I heard Jimi at the start. ;)

[closap]

Thanks man!

[W2QYVkz789]

I like a lot the vacuum tubes. I usualyy build my circuits with it. But a couldn't record it.

[peugteobike]

I have been a fan of tube equimpment

[6h6p]

intelligent way to explain the basics beyond for a rookie

like me!

please dont stop to invite us with all the other terms like:

negative feedback, damping factor and so on.

greetings from germany

michael

[Parasitekiss]

Best Analogy I've seen regarding how vacuum tubes operate. Thank you very much, I'll be waiting for the next videos.

[nawara88]

Nice Explanation, Thanks man

[videosdosoares]

Very nice way to explain the tubes !

Good work !!!

73´s de CT2FPE

[BartManNL]

Love your video's, specially the explanation about the bias current!

[BlackAngusYoung]

Good video. Really glad to find it. I'll have to watch it when I'm not high to really understand what you're saying. I'm enjoying the editing.

[MolecularStructures]

@BlackAngusYoung I actually just though the exact same thing before seeing your comment hahaha

[BlackAngusYoung]

@MolecularStructures Well.... after a year, thanks for reminding me I was going to watch this. I should remember this time.

[srfriggen]

great explanation. I've read about water pressure etc when it comes to electricity and voltage, but your use of the analogy went above and beyond!

[improvised440]

These are different tube amplifier pictures that I found on the web. I agree that the one on 0:12 looks a bit peculiar but I think it's a tube amplifier.

[ssech6]

thank you very much you made it much more easier to understand this complicated subject about transistors, love you for it.
