Others may ask for copies of this reference. *Others may ask where the

simple explanation that by using Walt's data above, can be rendered
into Watts/Temperature with only the difficulty of pressing calculator
keys. *These values than can weighed against real and tested
observation at the bench of the same tube in operation.

I cannot imagine anything else meriting discussion.

I would appreciate a copy of the above reference, if you would be so
kind. *In order for me to continue following an interesting discussion.
Thankyou.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for sending the copy of the paper you referenced. I've been
reviewing it this afternoon. Although I understand that induced
current results from a moving charge, I'm not as comfortable
discussing the Rp issue in terms of charges as I am with currents, so
I'm having a little difficulty in coming to grips with Rp while
reviewing the paper. Consequently, I need a little more time
assimilating the info before replying further in hope of resolving our
difference on the subject.

I'll be back with you as soon as I'm ready.

Walt

Hi Walt,

Thank you for keeping in touch. Others have asked for copies and will
be reading in tandem with you. Perhaps questions about it, or where
the heat comes from will arrive in your pause.

does it really matter what the mechanism of generating the heat is?
the fact that there is heat generated in the plate means there is
energy lost from the electrons, be it due to impinging on the plate
mechanically or due to the metal resistance it is still a loss of
energy. And since there is more heat when there is more plate current
we can model it as a real resistance. The only question is then, is
it linear or not. that should be a 'relatively' simple measurement,
and one that has likely been done by a researcher somewhere along the
line.
