How many vacuum tubes are in the Univac I computer?
It used 5200 vacuum tubes.
What do you call the vacuum tubes used in transistor radios?
You don't, there aren't any. However some radios in the early 1950s did use both vacuum tubes and transistors. This was because early junction transistors were too slow to operate at RF so vacuum tubes were used in the RF and IF sections. These radios were called hybrid radios because they used both vacuum tubes and transistors.
What theorem is used in vacuum tubes?
Millman's theorem
What computers will used vacuum tubes?
First generation computers.
What was the first electronic computer that used vacuum tubes?
ENIAC
What generation computers used vacuum tubes?
FIRST GENERATION
What generation was vacuum tubes used?
first generation computers
What other devices use vacuum tubes?
Vacuum tubes still find uses where solid-state devices have not been developed, are impractical, or where a tube has superior performance, as with some devices in professional audio and high-power radio transmitters. Tubes are still produced for such applications.
What were Vacuum tubes used for?
Vacuum tubes were used back in the 19th century and mid-20th century for a number of things. At first they were used just in scientific areas, but then they were used as electronic amplifiers. They were eventually used in the first computers.
Neon is used in the making of?
red lights, lasers, vacuum tubes, some TV tubes, etc.
Did Alan Turing made the vacuum tubes computers?
No, he had to use mechanical gears, etc. because they were the only device technology available in his time. Electric relays were first developed about 15 years after he designed his computer, while vacuum tubes were first developed about 90 years after he designed his computer.
Do they still make vacuum tubes?
Do they still make vacuum tubes? Yes! Vacuum tubes are still used in applications where high power is required. And that's because there are no solid state (semiconductor) devices that can deliver what a hefty vacuum tube can produce. We see vacuum tubes used in the broadcast transmitters that radio and TV stations send out their signals with. We also see vacuum tubes used in radar applications, and in things like X-ray generation. You want big power? Get a vacuum tube to deliver it. As we move up the power scale, we'll see solid state devices falling off the truck until we're left with just vacuum tubes. There's a bit more.Now that newer technology has appeared and is becoming more common, the cathode ray tube (CRT) in "regular" television sets is disappearing. (The CRT is a vacuum tube.) There are still plenty of these "older" units being used and marketed in other parts of the world. But the chances are excellent that you encounter a device using a vacuum tube at least daily. The tube we're talking about is called a magnetron, and it is the vacuum tube (a diode with associated magnets that works as a cavity resonator) which generates the microwaves energy that is used in microwave ovens.Vacuum tubes were developed and advanced long before solid state devices came into being. But, though semiconductor technology is at the heart of almost all electronic equipment around us today, the vacuum tube still does the jobs that solid state devices cannot manage. And this will continue to be the case for some time to come.
