Makes you want to build the worlds smallest AM xmitter, pair modulated by a pair, say a miniature 20V. Also enjoyed the Farrari vid on same YouTube page. Title: Re: Smallest V-12 Engine... Post by: WBear2GCR on November 21, 2012, 12:36:01 PM Working QRP 20V? Using what? Ultra-miniature "pencil tubes"??
Ok! _-_-bear Title: Re: Smallest V-12 Engine... Post by: Opcom on November 21, 2012, 11:10:46 PM I got a box of pencils..
but more physically right looking might be 6AK5's. short and cylindrical? just fake the plate caps. Title: Re: Smallest V-12 Engine... Post by: W3RSW on November 22, 2012, 09:52:39 AM Nice form factor for the larger tubes. I guess the earlier stages in the chain could be pencils for the drivers with half the tube under chassis, etc. so what would be scale based on the 6ak5's ?

And you have to machine all the loading amd tuning caps, coil forms. Transformers, mod and power , chokes, etc. might be doable with the small form factor size. |
