Have you estimated how much power will be used by this device? Do you have any
idea of the amount of heat that will be generated?

I know it isn't what you first envisioned, but have you thought of doing
something like this with FET's, or some other solid state device? It should
allow a much smaller, cheaper, cooler unit to be constructed.

Then again if you ever finish an all-tube BBD, it would certainly be an
impressive accomplishment, perhaps the only one ever built on this planet.
