BUY ADVERTISED GOODS _ Their Makers Guarantee Them '| we have also lowered Of late there has been quite a furore created in radio circles by a foreign announcement that it is now possible to do away with "B" bat- teries in radio receivers, he pur- pose of our article to-day ig to cau- tion the reader against beco ing too enthusiastic over the allegéd inven- tion. In the first place, the circuit does not do away with the plate battery, | as is commonly supposed. What is | actually done is to use so low a plate | voltage that it is possible to obtain the desired potential from the "A™ battery. This is not new, and has been used before, but since we have lowered the available power supply, the efficiency and the output, and for this reason it has not been very generally adopt- ed. The foreign circuit makes use of a four-element tubé, but this is not strictly necessary. The ordinany UV-201-A will detect' and even oscil- late with but six volts on the plate, and under certain conditions will oscillate and detect when no plate voltage other than that secured from the "A" battery is used, as in Fig. 1. The four-element tube is not new. The second grid, which is used as a "puller" to incFease the electron flow from the filament to the plate, was invented and used for this exact pur- pose many years ago. Some tubes with three grids have been experi- mented with by the big electrical laboratories. The champions of the foreign circuit maintain that by us- ing this extra "puller" grid they can FIG | "B" Battery-less Circuits ke RITIS ie Blatt bleh FIG 2 get full working efficiency from the tube by using the very low plate voltage which is obtained from the filament battery, but this is doubt- ful. Another matter is that the fila- ment battery should he at least six volts for satisfactory results, which means that users of UV-199's and WD-11's and WD-12's would have to add batteries anyhow. You can not get something for nothing. It takes power to operate headphones. The less plate battery 'and the less response in the head- phones, As stated before, the new circuit does not do away with a plate bat- tery, .and embodies nothing that has not heen known for years to ex- perienced engineers. Marconi, Flem- ing, and others have expressed them- selves as extremely doubtful of the results claimed, and have refused to become excited over the matter. By all means, if you have the money and inclination, try the eir- cuits out, but do not expect too much, and do not be n¥sled by the claims that no "B" battery is used. Incidentally, the Fleming valve, which is a two-element tube, will function with absolutely no plate voltage, and if three-element tubes are not supplied with plate voltage from some source or other they will usually function as simple electron detectors, under which conditions they are but little if any better than a good crystal.
