Yes, I had the LP-4, LP-5 and LP-6 up and running a few years ago, however I never had the correct magnets nor the correct sockets (if there are any) for the LP-4 & LP-5. They are all similar to the original designs made by the inventor Hannes Alfvén and the group of people around him at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH in Swedish). If you haven't downloaded the papers written by hannes Alfvén and his colleagues I can recommend you to do so, they can be found here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/neonixie-l/QyGXStAkPW0/aG30K9EWBgAJ. LM ericsson bought the right to the Trochotrons invented by Hannes Alfvén and SER (Svenska ElekronRörsfabriken) produced the RYG10 (the development samples were named AD-3 & AD-4 that eventuelly resulted in the RYG10)
I used some AlNiCo magnets I got from speakers and also from other dead Trochotrons to get them to run, one mounted below and one on top to get a uniform magnetic field, when it comes to components I experimented with the values used for the LM Ericsson/SER RYG10 and got them to run after some tweaking but I never came across any original drawings or photos where they were shown in use. /Martin On Friday, 6 November 2020 20:52:49 UTC+1, peter bunge wrote: > > Has anyone actually used one of these? > Does anyone have a picture of this tube with the magnet installed? > Anyone have working schematics? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
