BTW, the CRT (the still great cathodic rays tube of the TVs) uses the same principle.]]>Dec 10th 2008 3:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/
As someone else mentioned, the VFD is not generating anything, it is simply a vacuum tube, and the wiring details that are of no interest to them are the relevant portion of the whole project.]]>Dec 9th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/Dec 9th 2008 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/Dec 9th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/Dec 10th 2008 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/Dec 10th 2008 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/vfd-from-vcr-generates-40-vdc-to-power-diy-amp/Dec 10th 2008 3:48AM
