I have revised my filament, my previous filaments were just ideas, which is why I have not tried it yet. Currently I plan to use a small spring that measures 6.3 ohms.

No, it happens instantly only after the contact occurs. If it was due to heat, you would see continuous sparks.

Tapping the leads rapidly produces a lot of light, but using a laser thermometer reveals no heat.
When you first bring the pieces of conductor together, the area of contact will be very small in extent, thus it has high resistance and low mass and is heated very quickly. Once more of the metal is making contact, that is no longer the situation. The elevated temperature is fleeting and quickly dissipates, thus you would need some very specialized equipment to read it's temperature.

Most 1 transistor FM transmitters work poorly and have bad sound. I fixed one that didn't work and now it sounds great but its output power is illegally too high.
1) I used a linear preamp with pre-emphasis (treble boost) like all FM radio stations have, to match the de-emphasis in all FM radios.
2) I used a low dropout 5V regulator to power the preamp and RF oscillator so that the preamp still works properly and so that the oscillator frequency does not change as the battery voltage runs down.
3) I used an RF amplifier to isolate the oscillator from the antenna so that anything moving towards or away from the antenna does not change the frequency of the oscillator.
4) When I tweaked the RF circuit in a simulation, the output power is higher and the RF waveform is a perfect low distortion sinewave.

It must be exactly a specific voltage. Look either it will work or it won't. I cannot change the laws of physics.

I am fully aware that this idea sounds stupid. But it should work, and if it does, that would be pretty cool, and perhaps useful.

Saying it won't work does not help anything, except is rather annoying.
to right
we "all" know it wont work,
and yo have asked,

BUT

Its a very safe experiment, not much cost, and will be of education to yourself
so please,

have a go,

Personally I had not noticed the similarities in the matsima of the numbers of the electron gap and the forward voltage,
but interesting,

Go for it,
