Re: OT:Tube Regenerative Receiver 12SN7/12V6
It was a good day for me and Alex (9 y/o).? He's completed about half (or more) of the kit assembly.? He used a Hakko 936 clone station I had kicking around in the junque and a roll of 60/40 solder

Re: OT:Tube Regenerative Receiver 12SN7/12V6
OK.? I have a bunch of regen stuff archived and this was the only one that cam close to fitting your description. But it turns out that schematic doesn't match the actual article from P.E. Oct. '59

Re: OT:Tube Regenerative Receiver 12SN7/12V6
No it isn't that one though the 12V6 is wired in similar fashion.? There are only two tubes.? 1/2 of the 12SN7 is a preamp for the 12V6, the other half is a regenerative detector, believe in a

Re: OT:Tube Regenerative Receiver 12SN7/12V6
It sounds similar to a regen by Newkirk in the September 1992 QST, also reprinted in the book QRP power. It does use two dual section tubes. I built it and it's a good performer. 73- Nick, WA5BDU

Awhile ago, when the regenrx yahoo group was active, I built several different iterations of regenerative receiver on the same small chassis.? It started as a twinplex, then changed to a 6SJ7

Re: Magloop prototype
Not that I have this all clear in my head. Even if 90 degrees out of phase, the instantaneous power when current is at -45 degrees and voltage at +45 degrees is half of your 54.6 kVA.? But 180

Re: Magloop prototype
Which is to say that the current and voltage are not both high at the same time. They are out of phase.

Re: Magloop prototype
Remember that when you multiply the current times the voltage across the capacitor, you are calculating reactive power, not watts. In an example from 66pacific.com, take a 10¡¯ circumference loop

Re: Magloop prototype
Got to be the "same place and time" thing. No way a system that small can contain anything like a megawatt of power.

Good question. I see two possible answers, and will expose my ignorance by saying I've no idea which dominates: 1)? High currents and high voltages can both be present, but perhaps not at exactly the

Rob, I assume that it is copyrighted. However, I don't believe that any of the lessons ended up referencing it, so you are probably fine without it. It is a great resource and well worth the purchase.
