Re: [TCML] Tube Q



Dave,


I used to know, but I can't remember.  It's somewhere in my
hand-written notes.   Maybe someone else will have the answer   :-)
I may have gotten that from Ed Phillips originally.  Not sure if
he's still on the list.   


By the way in my tests, the primary Q didn't seem to make much difference
if it was 10 or 20.  I didn't see any difference in performance, maybe
because of the effect of the loading by the secondary and sparks.


John

Subject: [TCML] Tube Q

I have been going over some of the math for my 810 tube coil and I have 
a question for John.
John - You have been credited with multiplying plate current by a factor 
of four for calculating tube impedance to be used for determining tank Q 
(plate V/4*plate I). Why Four? as opposed to just plain (plate V/plate I).

Thanks John and everyone

Dave
