If a cathode is chemically treated with a common household chemical and put into an alcohol flame, electron current can flow to a positive anode that is placed inside of the flame. This creates a diode rectifier.

What is very intriguing though, is that electron current can still flow to the anode even when it appears to be well outside of the flame.

A grid placed within this space between the flame and anode can control the amount of current flow. This creates a triode with gain, that has similarities to a vacuum tube triode.

    Very Interesting. My guess as an electronics author - Thermonic Emission is caused by the heating of the Anode in the flame (as oppose to heating it directly or indirectly with a filament in a vacuum tube), and the flame is "eating" the nearby oxygen. It isn't necessarily the vacuum that causes the electrons to flow, as electrons flow fine in certain gasses (Neon for instance). Rather they must be "boiled off". Why a vacuum? Because OXYGEN burns out the filament.

    Just to say you did it, you should attempt at least one QSL with that setup.

    This is very fascinating. I had no clue that an plasma such as the flame can act as part of a negative differential resistor.

    I appreciate your website!
