Researching Virtual Energy: Purpose of Vacuum Tubes

In summary, the primary purpose of vacuum tubes was to prevent self-destruction of elements within the tubes. Dr. Thomas Henry Moray claimed to have a device that could extract useful electrical energy from the dissociation of matter using radiant energy tubes. This concept was also used by Nikola Tesla, but Moray claimed to have achieved greater success. Radiant energy and virtual energy are not the same. The possibility of collecting and converting EM energy from the atmosphere into useful work energy is still being explored. One of the main reliability issues with vacuum tubes is air leaking into the tube, which can quickly ruin the filament or cathode.

I am researching virtual energy.

Before the integrated circuit there where vacuum tubes.

My question is what was the primary purpose of the vacuum tube?

Was it just to prevent the elements in the tubes from self destruction?

Dr. Thomas Henry Moray of Salt Lake City Utah claimed he had a device that could extract energy useful electrical energy from the "dissociation of matter". High wattage can be drawn into the device by utilizing a radiant energy type tube to make the air molecules around it electrically semiconductive. Nikola Tesla used x-ray tubes to accomplish this to a limited degree. Supposedly T. H. Moray accomplished this with his unique radiant energy tubes and was able to extract many kilowatts of power.

Is radiant energy the same as virtual energy?

I just wonder if the abundence of EM energy we put in the atmosphere could be collected and converted into usefull work energy. Could someone tell me if that is posible?

Another important reliability problem is that the tube fails when air leaks into the tube. Usually oxygen in the air reacts chemically with the hot filament or cathode, quickly ruining it.

Thank You for the reply.
Very usefull.
 

What is the purpose of vacuum tubes in researching virtual energy?

The purpose of vacuum tubes in researching virtual energy is to create a controlled environment with minimal interference from outside factors. This allows scientists to study the behavior of virtual energy in a more precise and accurate manner.

How do vacuum tubes aid in the study of virtual energy?

Vacuum tubes are used to create a vacuum, which is a space devoid of any matter. This allows scientists to isolate virtual energy and observe its behavior without any external influences.

What are some limitations of using vacuum tubes in virtual energy research?

One limitation is that vacuum tubes can only create a vacuum at a certain level, and it is not possible to achieve a completely perfect vacuum. Another limitation is that vacuum tubes are expensive and require specialized equipment to maintain.

Are vacuum tubes still used in virtual energy research today?

While vacuum tubes were widely used in the past, they have now been largely replaced by advanced technology such as particle accelerators and colliders. However, vacuum tubes are still used in certain experiments and research studies.

What other applications do vacuum tubes have in science and technology?

Vacuum tubes have been used in various fields of science and technology, such as in early computers, televisions, and radios. They are also used in medical equipment, industrial processes, and space technology.
