The Vacuum Tube’s Forgotten Rival

Cars That Think

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. After winding, the module was annealed in hydrogen at 1,100 °C for 2 hours and then rapidly cooled.
