The Vacuum Tube’s Forgotten Rival

Cars That Think

An old-fashioned triode vacuum tube does that using a voltage applied to its grid electrode. A second wire also wrapped around the core forms a control winding. The control winding includes many turns of wire, so by passing a relatively small direct current through it, the iron core can be forced into or out of saturation.
