I wonder how the air was taken out of the tube????

By Jenfucius on Feb 6, 2010

I will never stop to be amaized by the CRT technology. It is in fact a simple concept,yet so difficult to build. Thanks for posting! 5/5.

Science at its best.
Congratulations.

Nyle, thx for posting…what type of vacuum pump do you have(Rotary vane pump)? I guess that you would not need anymore than that…like
a cold trap or diffusion pumps?

Can you offer any advice to me? It seems like when I go to heat the glass with the torch it heats just fine, but when I remove the heat, after a few seconds it cracks. How do I avoid this? Also if I used a steel case for my tubes what is good to seal around the wires? I’m thinking I could melt some glass in there but how would I keep it from cracking due to the temperature difference beteween the glass and metal? Thank you.

I bet this puts out quite a bit of X-Rays. They’re most intense at a right angle to the anode plate.

Hi Nyle,
A very interesting video, well done. Do you think it would be possible to get a high enough vacuum for a home-made CRT using the method shown in this youtube video FqDI0lFz9Gc
I also enjoyed reading your Flame Triode webpage, what sort of maximum frequency have you been able to achieve?

Can anyone kindly enough to answer my question.Why does it produce a green light when it hits the fluorescent screen, i know the interior of the fluorescent is made of zinc sulphide but why, how?.Thx in advance (sry still learning)

By leet2888 on Feb 6, 2010

CRTs emit small amounts of X-rays. That’s why they use leaded glass.

By minousoft on Feb 6, 2010

By dead666body on Feb 6, 2010
