Disclaimer:

Do not attempt any of the experiments shown on these web pages.

A good working knowledge and training in dealing with High voltages is required. Many precautions are taken here and are not covered by this web site. Many more should be taken.

Valve Radio

Six valve, Superhet radio receiver manufactured by Philips. Chassis type 577A 'Click' on the image for more on valves.

Origin

This site is based on part of a collection of electronic and electrical equipment. A small insight to the fascinating world of electronics over the years. Many items may be obsolete but they still show ingenuity and engineering at its best.

The site also contains some information on experiments and projects. Not all the information required to copy the experiments is available on the site. This is intentional as there are hazards associated with many of the setups. In particular high voltages and electromagnetic radiation. Precautions and safe practices need to be employed when using high voltages. Many insulating materials become conductors at very high voltages including air. High voltage capacitors must always be regarded as potentially lethal.

The site name

The name Tuopeek comes from Keep Out backwards. Tuopeek like 'Keep Out' suggest danger but associates the inquisitive nature of peek. Perhaps used here in its inverse form to mean "come in" !
