But before even those transistor-based computers is a retrocomputing era rarely touched on: the era of programmable vacuum tube machines. [Mike] has gone back to the 1950s with this computer which ...

We have occasionally featured vacuum tube computers here at Hackaday and we’ve brought you many single board computers, but until now it’s probable we haven’t brought you a machin… ...

After the transistor came of age, there was still room for the venerable vacuum tube in the burgeoning world of electronics. But even though that world is getting bigger, its parts are getting ...

Lee De Forest invented the audion, a vacuum tube device that could take a weak electrical signal and amplify it into a larger one. The audion helped AT&T set up coast-to-coast phone service, and ...

Vacuum tube computers, including the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) and the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), signaled the transition from mechanical to electronic computing in ...

Battery life does seem to have taken a hit thanks to the vacuum tube, with an AirPods Max like 20 hours of staying power. You can listen wired over a USB-C cable for high-res 32bit/384kHz audio.

Bullish (Video) Vacuum Tubes (1943) Posted: February 18, 2025 | Last updated: March 8, 2025. The video explains the operation of the vacuum tube, specifically the triode, which is essential in ...

From the 1920s through the 1950s, the American vacuum tube industry thrived. RCA, General Electric, Raytheon, and other manufacturers competed to invent and manufacture more reliable tubes, ...

"The thing to remember is computers were giant room-based, vacuum-tube devices," Mark Reidl, associate director at the Georgia Tech Machine Learning Center, told ABC News.
