Generation of Electromagnetic Energy in a Refractory Metal Thermionic Diode

내화금속 다이오드에서 전자기에너지 발전에 관한 연구

A thermionic energy converter test station is constructed for the study of electromagnetic energy generation. Of particular interest is the frequency variations due to changes in the interelectrode gap, the electrode temperature, and the cesium vapor pressure. It is found experimentally that the most intense ratio-frequency(rf) oscillations occur at two non-overlapping regions.
