Horrible Idea #4328.6: Self-powered Tubes

Forget the heater! Coat the cathode with a readioactive substance that is a beta emitter.

You could even make a fully complementary tube amp. Use an electron-emitting substance in one tube, and a positron-emitting substance in the other.

Other advantages include possible built-in birth control.
