Experiments with a Hydrogen Thyratron

March 15, 2019
 |  27 Comments



In this video I did some experiments with a TGI1-50/5 hydrogen thyratron. The circuit used in the experiments was discussed in detail. http://www.kerrywong.com/2019/03/03/experiments-with-a-hydrogen-thyratron

    Be better with no adds in the middle show some regard for your viewers.

    Safety precautions you say? No rubber gloves and all the wiring is completely exposed. You were probably doing this by yourself with no one around to perform CPR. I know you are careful but just trying to be careful is often not good enough. Take care…..

    Don't mess with high voltages if you do not have the proper equipment… Ties wires onto tube pins…

    ¡now you can build your own atomic bomb!. it's interesting you can buy soviet thyratron when US ones are highly restricted national security items

    My gosh, this is cool, but don't do this at home. This circuit has enough current delivery capacity to kill you outright if you're careless or unlucky !!!

    Can you tell me what this valve is used for ? I might have missed it in the first part ?

    At first I was thinking this was like a Gyrotron:

    However, I saw the number of cycles and realized it is not used in the same way as an oscillator like I was thinking… no where near 100's of GHz:

    Beautiful device and excellent detailed presentation. Thanks for sharing.

    Kerry can you construct a circuit using this to pulse a BLDC motor and show it working?

    Great explanation!

    So has anyone used these in a Tesla setup just curious?

    Can you control or run a Bldc motor with these?

    An interesting device Kerry, thanks for the video.
    But given the high voltages involved, I would like to have seen a more sturdy testbed system. Not just for safety, but for clarity as well. And I would also have liked to see some scope traces, and possibly some characterization of the device. eg: trigger voltages required, variation with hydrogen generator voltage etc..
    But I know some of that would take a lot more work to do, so thanks anyway.

    I've always been fascinated with Thyratrons. Back in the early 1960s in 8th grade built a thyratron based proximity detector using a 2D21 miniature tube. Recently for fun I rebuilt the circuit.

    Hi Kerry. Been following you since eevblog posted a video of yours a year ago. Thanks for a year of great videos.

    nicely done. Cleaver feature in your tube, in my H2 thyratron the heater and reservoir are internally parallel.

    Really nice! Do you think that is possible to have these thyratrons to have around 10ns HV (~2kV) pulse width? Or what would be the minimum pulse width for these devices? Doesn't need to be your specific model.

    Great explanation, now I know what a thryatron is and how it works. Thanks. Also glad you're doing this experiment not Electroboom.

    Can you use that tube in a ampler circuit ?

    Can you post the complete circuit with the ouptut capacitor and the voltade multiplier and the DUT?
    Thanks
