Most definitly Ken, I have used the purple plate many times on 4-125 A
tubes and within 24 hours they are 4-1000 A's. Not only does it raise the
plate dissipation, but increases the smooth flow of electrons so that
one only needs 1/2 the plate voltage for the same output. Experiments are
in progress to enhance the coax line with a purple plate so as to
speed the electron flow to the antenna. If this continues we shall soon
see efficiencys of 125 per cent and over.
Only draw back so far is do not look into the purple plate for any length
of time, it does cause anxiety attacks. So we are limited on how much
research can be done in any 24 hour period.
